When were you first introduced to clean energy? “I was just looking for more fulfilling work. I suffered greatly from survivor's remorse once I found success in my career.”
How does clean energy impact your community? “Providing energy for the 80% of Americans that are locked out of the solar market due to credit challenges, income restrictions, and people living in multi dwelling units is a great way to deliver environmental justice to low income communities.”
