Describe your journey to where you are today.
I got into the world of clean technology and green financing started when I was an undergraduate studying environmental geochemistry. After a trip to Siberia, I realized that I wanted to focus less on the academic side of climate change and more on deploying solutions to these challenges and decided to transition into clean energy.
After realizing I wanted to be the person driving solution deployment, I decided to work in the private sector on environmental remediation. I realized during his time working on environmental remediation that communities near these remediation sites almost never received the benefit from whatever company was causing the pollution, but experienced the negative effects of that pollution during the time of the company’s operations. It was because of this experience that I became fascinated about the idea of using brownfields or sites no one wanted to generate and reduce the cost of power where it could also provide social benefit and impact.
