I lead the Global Steel Plant Tracker, an industrial decarbonization research project, at Global Energy Monitor, a nonprofit think tank aiming to support the clean energy transition. With degrees in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Science and Management, and experience as a wind farm planner, air quality engineer, and community-based resource management consultant, I bring strong technical skills paired with training in economics, policy, and communications. I earned a certificate in The New Hydrogen Economy from the Terra.do climate school and helped build the Green Steel Tracker, a data project on hydrogen and CCUS in steelmaking.
