What is your responsibility as a 2016 URI Energy Fellow (i.e what team are you on/where are you working)?
I am working at the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation Renewable Energy Fund. I review and process new grant applications for the installation of solar panels and keep track of each grant’s progress until the grant is awarded. I am looking forward to networking with energy professionals. I enjoy going to work knowing I am helping residents and businesses afford renewable energy. It feels good to be a part of something positive!

In my free time I like to…
Outside of school you can find me running outside on trails around the state or trying out new local restaurants with my friends.
