I am new to Upwork so you won’t see a lot of work history here, but I am happy to provide references. I bring a nerdy fascination with regulatory guidelines and corporate culture, a holistic approach to problem-solving, and a knack for diplomacy and negotiation to every project I tackle. I have worked in North America, Europe, and Africa; have supported teams in local, state, country, and global initiatives; and worked within public, private, non-profit, and start-up organizations. Having held positions in strategic communications, program development, client relations, and operational strategy, I bring a well-rounded skillset to the table. My interests include program development, research and data analysis, and strategic planning, and I enjoy the challenges associated with change and aligning cross-functional teams. Most of my work experience has involved energy management, utilities, and regulatory compliance, and more recently I’ve dipped into helping real estate owners navigate complex building codes. I can take on everything from interviewing stakeholders, writing proposals, and presenting solutions, to executing strategic plans and leading teams for measurable results. Though my background speaks to a penchant for making seemingly boring things interesting, I am an artist, philosopher, and humanist who cares deeply about productive communication and genuine dialogue. I excel in breaking through roadblocks and look forward to working with your team to the world a safer, more sustainable place for us all!
