In her previous role as the Energy Equity fellow at the Greenlining Institute, she led their city-based building decarbonization strategy by working with city governments to equitably electrify homes. Before that, she helped develop the City of Oakland's Equitable Climate Action Plan and supported its community engagement efforts as a Climate Corps fellow. Her previous experiences taught her that community needs, priorities, and leadership must be meaningfully centered in decision-making processes in order to ensure equitable outcomes of climate and energy policies.
