What is your responsibility as a 2017 URI Energy Fellow (i.e. what teams are you on/where are you working)?
As the Energy Literacy Fellow I have been researching, developing and implementing an energy unit for both the Youth Learning Landscape Field trips and Eco Exploration summer camp. I also have been working to compile research for the Plugged into URI Energy Research Lecture Series set to take place this fall. Both projects seek to educate a wide variety of audiences on energy related topics in order to ultimately change thoughts and behaviors in a sustainable way! I am looking forward to being able to showcase everything that I was able to implement this year, especially the fun activities that will make my presentation interesting to listen to!

In my free time I like to…
I love to read mostly, I also like to swim during the summer; it is personally my favorite summer activity.
