In that role, she oversaw local, state, federal, and IOU-funded energy and climate initiatives and participated in state regulatory efforts. Her areas of expertise include designing innovative local/regional solutions, communicating a strategic vision, pursuing policy and regulatory opportunities, obtaining resources, building local capacity, leveraging cross-sector partnerships, and engaging stakeholders. She enjoys managing complex projects and datasets to achieve results within multi-agency, political and bureaucratic environments. She earned a Master of Public Administration from New York University.
“I am very excited to have accepted this opportunity to support impact-makers throughout California doing the critical work of moving our communities towards a sustainable energy future,” said Angie. “I am very familiar with the challenges communities face on the ground in aligning resources with needs, especially in a landscape where changing policies, technologies, budgets, and climate impacts require us to rise to new levels of creativity and vigilance.”
Angie is particularly looking forward to providing local governments easily-accessible technical assistance and peer-learning opportunities focused on real-world ways to sustain, replicate, and expand upon effective local energy and climate programs.
