Kelsey is an experienced administrative professional with an eclectic background in marine science, academia, waste management, and local government. Her foray into sustainable development began when she was earning her degree in marine science.

Since then, she has worked in various sectors to spark engagement and awareness around sustainable policies and practices. Her experience in sustainable development ranges anywhere from managing projects for university programs to sorting and properly disposing of compost, recycling, and trash at public events with non-profit recycling organizations. In her most recent role, Kelsey worked as a liaison for the transportation demand management program, Way to Go, where she helped commuters in the Denver metro region transition from single-occupancy vehicle travel to alternative modes of transportation. She is passionate about making a difference toward a sustainable, equitable future for all.
