I have been involved with NESEA since 2009, so going on almost 15 years! I have served on the BuildingEnergy content committee on and off for about a decade and have had the pleasure and privilege of serving on the Board for the last two years. I have also presented at multiple BuildingEnergy Boston and New Year conferences over the last decade, and within the Board, I have served on the ED task force and DEI subcommittees and have volunteered at many NESEA events.

Over the last almost 15 years, I have so enjoyed being a part of the NESEA community as a member, volunteer and now Board Member. I believe I bring a deep knowledge of the New York energy and sustainability market, as well as my passion for creating a more equitable and sustainable future through serving a network that addresses climate justice, equity, and the need to scale decarbonization throughout ALL of our communities across the Northeast. I firmly believe that energy and sustainability initiatives should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. By serving on the board, I have the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of programs and policies that address the unique needs and challenges faced by underrepresented communities.

I absolutely love the commitment and priority that NESEA has made to be an inclusive community, across geography, race, class, industry, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The Board currently reflects what I believe is the hope and intent of the NESEA demographic that we hope to reach, inspire, educate and INCLUDE in any and all events, decisions, and the organization's future. I would appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve on various committees within the Board to further expand our reach across market sectors and help drive revenue to allow NESEA to continue to bring incredible educational value to its members.
