Creating Community Impact

As leader of the efforts to implement Sol’s comprehensive Impact + Infrastructure strategy, I am passionate about building community partnerships and collaborating with local organizations who are driving positive change in their communities.

I feel a strong sense of responsibility, honed from growing up in a developing country with inadequate infrastructure, to do my small part in making life better for under-resourced communities. Our work shows that we do not necessarily have to move mountains to implement change and impact someone’s life. Sometimes, all it takes is an incremental change led by organizations who firmly believe in the mission such as Sol Systems, to start an avalanche of positive change.

Designing strategic renewable energy solutions to help our customers meet their organizational and carbon goals alike has always been a passion of mine. Inspiring our customers to rethink their solar procurements and investments for even deeper impacts beyond the megawatt is what highly motivates me at Sol Systems.

Together with our corporate and community partners and our team of passionate experts, Sol Systems gives me the extraordinary opportunity to design solutions that create co-benefits for communities and ecosystems and for a more just and sustainable energy transition.

My passion for our impact work stems from dedication to seeing a broad vision of sustainability. I’m passionate about innovative solutions across all areas of ecosystem services, and large-scale solar projects offer a unique opportunity to restore soil health, build up pollinator habitat, and improve our food systems. Investing in habitat restoration initiatives gives us the opportunity to provide access to clean energy, restore our natural environments, and partner with local community members. We’re proving that making one decision during development of a clean energy project can have a far-reaching impact on our energy, agricultural, and food systems, communities, and natural world.

As the daughter of a first-generation college student, I am passionate about our impact work because I feel as if it is my duty to pay it forward and uplift the next generation. Providing scholarships to high school seniors and job opportunities for local community college students gives us the opportunity to connect with the communities within which we work in a deeper way than the solar project itself. We’re establishing a commitment to drive change not only from an environmental perspective but from a workforce development perspective as well. I am proud to be a small part of that change and driving forward Sol’s mission.
