As an advocate for environmental justice and sustainability, I currently serve as a Zero Emissions Policy Intern at CALSTART in Pasadena, leveraging my foundational knowledge of environmental policies. In this role, I conduct research on clean transportation topics and contribute to ongoing Zero Emission Vehicle initiatives in the Southeast. Previously, as a Federal Affairs Intern at the Environmental Defense Fund in D.C., I focused on researching equity and environmental justice impacts. I collaborated with the EJ Policy Manager to integrate equity into EDF’s strategy and develop effective coordination processes.
