Carrie has worked with the Mountain Association’s Energy Program since 2017. In that time, the Energy Team has helped hundreds of businesses, governments and nonprofits across the region lower their energy bills through energy efficiency and renewable energy. In addition to directing the work of the energy team, Carrie seeks out new program opportunities, grants, and partnerships to help advance clean energy in Eastern Kentucky, works directly with clients, and wrangles spreadsheets. Carrie is also the co-chair for the Central Appalachian Network Clean Energy working group. In the past, Carrie has worked for nonprofits in energy, policy and social justice work, including over three years at the Mountain Association as a Research and Policy Associate. She holds a Master’s Degree in International Public Affairs from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She lives in Lexington with her husband and two boys, and enjoys baking, hiking, reading, and talking too much about energy policy and utility reform.
Carrie’s favorite spot in Eastern Kentucky is Hanson’s Point in Red River Gorge, which she always follows with a pizza at Miguel’s.
