Boulder County Office of Sustainability, Climate Action, and Resiliency Fellowship

As a direct result of working on the CU Conference of World Affairs panel discussion, including Governor Polis as well as Boulder County's Office of Sustainability, Climate Action, and Resilience  OSCAR Director Susie Strife, I was launched into a year-long fellowship with the local county climate office. (CWA) Although there were not many pictures taken during my time at OSCAR, I gained incredible and invaluable experience in various aspects of environmental policy and program management. I played a key role in developing climate justice initiatives and fostering community engagement. Through creating and implementing the Climate Policy Action Leadership (CPAL) program, I honed my skills in project management, stakeholder engagement, and policy analysis. Additionally, I contributed to regenerative agriculture initiatives, fundraising efforts, and grant oversight, further strengthening my strategic planning, financial management, and program evaluation abilities.
