Before working at Tesla, before Bay Area tech, and before my career in clean energy, I went to school at the State University of New York at Oswego. Oswego was where my friends and I would regularly brave several feet of lake-effect snow just to get to our classes. It was where I would stay up until 3 AM wearing comfy pajamas in the Riggs dorm study lounge learning about meteorology, climate change, and sustainability. It was where professors gave me the opportunity to research a wind power project on campus. And it was where mentors and friends helped set me on a path that would get me to where I am today. About a month ago, Dee Perkins, a fellow Oswego alumna, interviewed me and we talked about that path that I have been on since I graduated from Oswego.
In our discussion, we cover topics from climate change to clean tech to what it's like to be a woman in STEM fields. Check it out and let me know what you think!
I also highly recommend checking out the other podcasts Dee has put together (especially Tamar Greene's interview where he talks about his experience in the Broadway musical Hamilton!) Dee is such an awesome podcast host and I'm super grateful for her sharing her time and talent with the Oswego community.
