How did you catch the “energy” bug?
I caught the energy bug when I was a policy debater in high school. One of the topics I researched and debated for a year was clean energy policy in the United States. I was fascinated by all the different ways states could approach energy policy.
What is something that makes you feel hopeful about the future?
People give me hope for the future. I get to work with smart, thoughtful people who constantly teach me new things. On the weekends, I coach and judge debate and get to see the creativity and brilliance of the next generation on display. Being around people who care and think deeply makes the future feel pretty promising.
