Profile

I am currently the executive director of the Environmental & Energy Law Program at Harvard Law School. Our team identifies legally durable strategies to support climate and environmental policies and advance clean energy deployment. We work to build strategic alliances among stakeholders to advance policy solutions. Before joining EELP, I was an executive vice president at M.J. Bradley & Associates where I directed power company coalitions that played a critical role in supporting air pollution and climate regulations.

I attended a SFS semester program in La Paz, Mexico (Fall 1994) as well as TCI (Spring 1995) so I have lots of wonderful memories. My Directed Research (DR) project in TCI with the lobster fishermen taught me so many lessons that set the stage for many of the skills I use today in my work on federal policymaking. I now serve as a Trustee for The School for Field Studies.

Favorite SFS Memory: Diving off the wall in TCI and hearing whales as we studied fish and corals on dives.
