Pease note your affiliation and years of experience in the energy and/or environmental field

While I don’t have much experience yet in the energy economics field, I am passionate about global sustainability and climate change. Currently, I’m an intern for NCAC-USAEE and have been able to learn a lot about energy from the NCAC events and presentations hosted by members and guest speakers. 

Any particular achievement/interest in energy/environment you would like to mention?

As I mentioned above, I am interested in sustainability and creating a cleaner and healthier planet. Also, I am an economics and psychology major at Virginia Tech. I’m interested in human behavior and how we can motivate people to make choices that will create a positive impact on the environment. 

In your opinion, what are important issues facing the energy industry nowadays? 

Greenhouse gas emissions have been an ongoing topic in the news recently and I’m excited to see if the current Biden Administration can make a difference. 

How long have you been a member of NCAC? Any particular NCAC memory you would like to share with us?

I’ve been a member since November 2020. My favorite event so far was the 2021 annual dinner where in the happy hour I was able to meet several members and participate in some interesting conversations about non-fossil fuel energy and its challenges.
