Counselor In Training

I am a manager at ICF working on modernizing the New York State energy grid to be more efficient and resilient. I am excited to have the opportunity to improve my home state's energy resources and help NY move into the future. 

I am a graduate of Boston University where I completed a four year combined B.A. / M.A. program. I received a MA in Energy and Environment and BA in Environmental Analysis and Policy (cum laude) in May 2018. 

I want to be on the forefront of leaders showing that being green isn't just easier than ever before but extremely profitable with today’s technology. In order to move forward, we must change the way business as usual is done to include sustainable practices.

I have always had a love of theater and music. Singing has always been a passion of mine and my creative outlet. I recently was the national anthem singer for the Boston University Men's Ice Hockey team and the Walk MS: Boston charity event.
