About
- Bio:
At NRDC I work in Media Relations. Usually my job consists of tracking NRDC’s presence in the media, fielding media calls, brainstorming, and scheduling interviews. In general, I like it.
Before getting here, I went to school at NYU (studying everything from ceramics, to neuroscience and eastern philosophy) and I worked as a Research Assistant and Studio Manager for an artist in SoHo.
Today, I live with one cat and three roommates in an East Village apartment. We live rather comfortably with a projector for a TV and surround sound in the living room, but secretly, I’m slowly making my roommates turn eco-friendly (read: CFLs in about 70% of the apartment, strict recycling policy, wind powered electricity, recycled toilet paper in the bathroom…), and so far—aside from that first brand of TP I made them try—they haven’t complained.
- Roots in:
- Pittsburgh (No, it is NOT the Midwest .)
- Favorite place:
- Punta Uva, Costa Rica
- Why "environmentalism" matters:
- Because even if I don’t see the natural wonders of the world in my lifetime, I like the idea that someday my (not yet existent) kids could. And because, as my IT friend Umar, says “I don’t want to have to colonize the moon.”
