Communication Intern
Environmental and energy study institute
The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) is a nonprofit nonpartisan organization that seeks to educate Congress and the public on environmental and energy facts. EESI advances innovative policy solutions that set the world on a cleaner, more secure and sustainable energy path. They believe the solution to many problems in our world is through energy efficiency, renewable energy, changes in agriculture, forestry and land use management, and sustainable buildings, transportation and communities. These strategies can also stimulate numerous economic, national security, public health, and environmental benefits.
As the communication intern, I wrote articles, ran the twitter account, produced graphics for print and web, assisted the D.C Energy EXPO and created analysis and annual reports to assist organizational communication. Click the arrow below to see work examples.
Working with Renew Rocktown, I was the communications and organizational head of a four-person renewable energy team. There is a Virginia state law that caps net-metered solar energy at 1% of the total grid energy. The energy provider subjected Harrisonburg to this law, despite the fact it has nothing to do with the physical capabilities of the grid, but more so to control the dirty energy market. My team set out to find a feasible way to work with our energy provider and our municipal utility to create win-win solutions that bring the municipality more money and savings and allow Harrisonburg citizens energy freedom. On February 27th we presented our findings to the Harrisonburg Electric Commission and hope to see renewable energy growth in the Friendly City. Click the link to read more.
