ETaP Thesis (2009): "The role of small-scale biodigesters in the energy, health, and climate change baseline in Mexico"
Prior Degree: BS in Journalism with a minor in Environmental Science, Western State College of Colorado
Statement: The ETaP program provided me with an incredible foundation from which to found a Mexico-based social company focused on providing renewable energy to low-income people in Latin America. I was given the flexibility I needed to customize course work and research around my areas of interest while also being introduced to a wide range of engineering, economics, and policy subjects that have proven invaluable to my work. This program allows you to get your hands dirty and understand where policy and design meet the real world. The professors, resources and facilities available to students provide everything required to develop a highly pragmatic yet inspirational graduate experience.
