Kristen brings her passions and experiences as a 7th grade science teacher and nonprofit leader to work towards a vision of a more equitable, healthier, and sustainable K-12 school system for all. Beginning her career as a public school teacher in a disadvantaged community, she gained an appreciation for the impact the built environment has on students. Wishing to have a larger impact on the K-12 system, she began her nonprofit work at the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council where she worked to support the implementation of whole school sustainability practices to school leaders. After four years of refining her communication and facilitation skills in the nonprofit sector, Kristen joined Generation180 to inspire and equip school leaders in taking action on clean energy in their district. She enjoys working with passionate individuals and spending her time outdoors with her two dogs.
