Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a Yale student interested in molecular biochemistry. I have always had a fondness for science and experimentation! I also am very passionate about the environment and its protection. After I graduate I hope to be able to research ways in which biochemistry can be utilized for the production of clean energy or for waste management. I believe nature has many creative solutions that we can learn from when trying to solve out problems.

On campus i am involved with a group called Project Bright that works to increase renewable energy in the New Haven community. I think it is really important to teach people of all ages the importance of clean energy and sustainable living.

E3829: How to Build a Clean Future: An Intro to Renewable Energy Policy in Sprout Fall 2019 (Sep. 28 - Oct. 12, 2019)
An important part of understanding renewable energy is understanding the policy drivers developed by the government. In this class we will cover the basics of general financial policy and how it can drive specific markets through taxes and subsidies. We will also cover the specifics of current renewable energy incentives such as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), Renewable Energy Credits (REC), and Net Metering. In addition to this we will go over future potential policies and encourage students to brainstorm the merits and pitfalls of each proposed policy.
