Meredith Connolly, Energy Law and Policy Fellow, San Francisco
As an Oregon native, my love for the environment is as ingrained as my devotion to marionberries, pinot noir, and the Oregon Ducks. I am an Energy Law and Policy Fellow in NRDC’s San Francisco office, working within the Energy Program and the International Program. I will be focusing my efforts primarily on renewable energy projects in California and India. I received my law degree from Boston College Law School and my bachelor’s degree in Political Science and French from Santa Clara University. Whenever possible, I spend my free time traveling, hiking, honing my photography skills, and discovering the best brunch spots in the city.
