Throughout her career, Jennifer has seen how technology and evidence-based strategies advance impact and operational excellence for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. Finding the budget and expertise is a major roadblock.

She aims to fill that gap one project at a time.

Jennifer is a NYC-based sustainability technologist and data scientist specializing in early-stage programs and products, cross-sector partnerships, clean energy, and sustainable IT.

In 2015, she completed a Master of International Affairs—Economic and Political Development at Columbia University. There, she specialized in quantifying the social and environmental impacts of mining and mineral extraction on local communities.

She learned in and out of the classroom through hands-on, short-term projects with the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, Barrick Gold Corporation, and the Tanzanian Anti-Corruption Bureau. She also mentored under seasoned program evaluators working with UN Women, MOUSE, and the Missanabie Cree First Nation.

She spent the next decade in and out of the private sector, holding roles in data science and technical leadership. She also contributed to in-house corporate sustainability programs for PVH, Estee Lauder, JBS USA, and private equity clients.

Most recently, she served as Vice President of Sustainability Science at Two Sigma. From 2022-2025 she had the pleasure of collaborating with Housing Navigator MA, the National Wildlife Federation, Penn Foster, WattTime, Climate TRACE, Google Cloud, the Open Compute Project, and many others.

She also founded Two Sigma’s operational emissions reduction program, maturing the initiative for handover to senior engineers and product managers.

Jennifer lives in Harlem with her two cats and musician boyfriend. Her hobbies are yoga, bike riding, and weight lifting. If she were trapped on a desert island, please air-drop her some sour cream and onion chips.
