Acting Director of Sustainability
I design programs for the Green New Deal to help the City of Ithaca reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
I'm responsible for the planning and implementation of community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030. In practice, that means meetings and collaboration with the utility, energy research authority, financiers, and tech partners.
Here's the first step for college students
I wouldn't necessarily recommend pursuing a graduate degree for this career. Graduate degrees are expensive and, although they give you an edge in the hiring process, they're generally unnecessary in this line of work. Instead, I recommend networking at conferences and taking every meeting you can. You never know who might be there.
