Worker Profile
summary
After completing a Masters degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech, I took my skills and passion for a greener world to the solar industry where I began working as a civil engineer for a small solar developer before beginning to focus my work on solar design full time. Now, I am supporting the design and construction of 100MW+ utility scale solar facilities. I have a passion for human rights and will continue to work for access and equity in the clean energy space and hope to one day work to connect all people across the globe to green, affordable electricity.
