How did you get into the clean energy field?
I first dipped my toe into the field when I worked with my Peace Corps site-mate, an environmental engineer, on creating a solar-powered hydroponics business to teach local Peruvian students about the effects of climate change on agricultural practices. That experience led me to pursue a graduate degree in sustainable business, during which I worked with a utility to implement a new software that would improve the efficiency of its net metering application process.
