Founder and CTO, Halibut Technologies, est. 2025 in Cambridge. My work in demand-side management includes launching the first midstream rebate program for ultra-low temperature freezers (a pilot that has now grown into Energy Solutions’ nationwide life sciences portfolio); successfully converting a midstream chiller rebate pilot for Seattle City Light into a full-scale offering and driving the program to exceeding savings targets; driving the first midstream rebate program for fans and pumps to exceeding savings targets; and developing and launching the first midstream rebate program in the US for networked lighting controls for Duke Energy in North and South Carolina. I have an extensive portfolio of publications in environmental issues, science and technology, and fiction, memoir and poetry. In 2020 I co-authored ‘Hand-In-Hand: Environmental and Social Justice Communities and California Energy Code’ with PG&E, which was accepted at the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings and expanded into a presentation given at the 2021 Department of Energy National Codes Conference. I received my bachelor’s in Environmental Science with Honors and Magna Cum Laude distinction from Northeastern University on a full academic scholarship. Senior year I won the Dr. Carl F. Muckenhoupt Award, given each year to two students “who will use their training in the sciences to benefit the environment of the earth and the life upon it.”
