- Began a grassroots movement at our community college back in 2007 and with the help of others within the college along with regional partners, we've created an organization that has helped bring more attention to environmental issues in the Charlotte, NC region. The Center for Sustainability won 6 state and local awards during my last 4 years there. Sadly, in June of 2011, the college announced it would not be renewing my contract and my position ended, June 30th 2011.
Now working for Clean Air Carolina, in Charlotte, NC.
