Originally from Bellingham, WA, Emily moved to Boulder, CO to pursue a Masters of the Environment at CU Boulder, focusing on renewable and sustainable energy while learning about the field hands-on as an intern with DCC. Emily focused research on wind power while living on Jeju Island, South Korea for two years, and the potential for islands with offshore wind to go carbon neutral. She is excited for what the future has to hold in renewables, EVs, and battery storage. In her free time, Emily loves to run and backpack, exploring the mountain ranges in Colorado; although different than the mountains in Washington, they are equally as beautiful!
