United States

I am a Senior Account Executive at ROKK Solutions, a bipartisan public affairs firm in Washington, D.C. I manage public affairs and policy communications for an electric and gas utility serving more than 9 million customers, and an international airline with over 4,000 flights per day. I create persuasive messaging and public affairs campaigns on critical issues such as nuclear energy, sustainability in aviation, electricity market structures, and net zero commitments.

I am passionate about energy and climate issues, and am currently pursuing a Masters in Environmental Resource Policy at The George Washington University part-time to better develop my understanding of the science behind climate change and energy technologies. I have also written over a dozen op-eds energy, environmental, and foreign policy for National Review, The National Interest, RealClearEnergy, and more.
