Climate Tech, Policy, and Capital
Operating at the intersection of energy markets, finance, and execution
I specialize in the intersection of climate technology, global finance, and policy. Originally from the Midwestern United States, I witnessed how flooding impacted my community and became dedicated to systems change.
I founded a nonprofit at age 16 and have worked with global nonprofits, local government, startups, and venture capital firms. I have spoken at TEDx, G20, and the United Nations.
I graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia at the age of 19 with a degree in public policy and am pursuing an MSc in Climate Change, Management, & Finance at Imperial College London. I like to drive change and stay perpetually busy with seemingly unrelated activities designed to learn and help others.
