Building Science Instructor
Bozeman, MT, USA or Remote
My desire to be an industry professional for energy transition and climate mitigation movement has guided my academic and early career path. I first stepped foot onto to Western Washington’s campus in 2015 to study environmental science. Unfortunately, the tone of the program spoke of unfixable damages to climate with little hope of solution. Lucky for me, I was signed up for Energy 101 where I was first introduced to a meaningful movement of industry and academic professional who believed that technology and innovation is the solution to the climate crisis. I quickly changed my major to Energy Management and Policy so that I could be a part of that solution. My experience at the Institute for Energy Studies combined a strong science background with economics and policy in order to understand modern energy topics. I added mathematics to my path of study to become more comfortable navigating complex science and economic problems. Through my academic success, I was recognized by professors and offered an opportunity to preform stipend summer research on the real-time carbon emission intensity of the electric grid. I focussed on how conservation programs could best leverage demand response technology as well the net emissions effect for batteries in various markets.
Alongside side my academic career I held a faculty position with the university and worked for Apple Inc. on the weekends. Apple’s company culture and mission to “make the complex simple” still resonates with me in my energy career. Through my other position, I experienced working with utility companies to advance conservation goals on behalf of a large scale consumer. I conducted regular utility bill analysis to verify program successes. This measurement and verification work ultimately affected project reimbursement. With the utility bill data, I also identified and managed new projects for both energy and water conservation. These projects required a strong technical understanding for campus’s energy service systems. It was a unique opportunity for a wholistic understanding of energy services. The campus controlled electricity by its own substation and used a centralized gas powered steam heating system. The set up allowed projects to cover everything from green sourcing high voltage power delivery down to individual light fixture replacements programs. The scale of these operations included engaging stakeholders both on and off campus, creating funding and support. I worked with utility, state, and city program officials on a regular basis. The work I did was also connected to the academic programs, working between Western’s facilities management and Institute for Energy Studies. I involved other students in campus energy projects and served as a technical resource for groups like the Sustainability, Equity, and Justice Fund who sought to create and improve sustainability projects in campus and community.
I currently work Montana State University’s Weatherization Training Center where I train personal in the DOE Weatherization Assistance Program as well as home performance contractors. My primary role is the building science and policy specialist. I train industry professionals to deliver excellent work grounded in solid science principles. I also make sure they understand their obligations to federal and state policies. This position requires me to teach technical details to audiences with varying backgrounds. That has elevated my communication skills, particularly for topics in the energy efficiency industry. Through the training center, I also support community programs with shared values. I served on a task force for the city of Bozeman’s climate action plan where I worked with other community and industry leaders to help meet local climate goals, I have had opportunities to work with the MT Department of Public Health and Human Services to support their low income Weatherization assistance policies, and I have partnered with organization like the Montana Renewable Energy Association to create public education videos. Throughout the pandemic I have proven my ability to be creative and produce deliverables while working remotely. I have created a strong digital work flow not only for myself but also for my coworkers, who were less familiar with a remote work setting. This has helped the training center reach larger audiences with new digital content while providing strong virtual courses to our existing clients.

For an employer looking for a motivated “energy geek”, I am eager to apply. While I have enjoyed my time with the training center, my goal is to become an advanced professional in the energy services and decarbonization industry.
I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration,

Imaginative. Inquisitive. Ambitious. Fun. Tenacious. Adventurous. Empathetic. Headstrong.
My current job title is Mechanical Engineer - Engineer in Training, but I wouldn't classify myself as solely that. I've worked within three separate engineering disciplines - mechanical, electrical, and chemical - and I've studied climate science throughout my schooling and career. I've also worked as a program coordinator for the Study Abroad program at Montana State University, in which I primarily communicated with students and coordinated their exchanges.Â
Although my career path may not explicitly show it, sustainability and working to protect the environment are my two biggest passions. I love science and math, and I get giddy when I see new chemical process and equations to sequester carbon. Science and collaboration are our main keys to slowing, and hopefully reversing the climate crisis - and I want to be at the forefront of the push for change.Â
When I'm not finding new ways to feed my brain's constant state of curiosity, I can be found out in the mountains with my dog, traveling, or experimenting with new bread recipes.

I have spent most of my professional life working to help people. From Special Operations combat search and rescue, to mountain rescue, to snow hydrology, I have always been drawn to opportunities that allow me to serve those in need. I have recently shifted career paths but still desire to work in a capacity that serves the greater good.
