As Oregon Clean Energy Policy Manager, Alma works to accelerate renewable energy deployment and advance Oregon’s clean energy goals.

Prior to joining Climate Solutions, she worked at the NW Energy Coalition, where she led coalition engagement around implementation of Oregon’s landmark clean energy and affordability laws (HB 2021 and HB 2475). She also worked at Community Energy Project, where she advocated for frontline communities at the Oregon state legislature, local government, and Oregon Public Utility Commission spaces to advance energy justice, climate justice, and housing equity. She previously interned with Energy Trust of Oregon and the Metro Regional Government, and spent three years doing community organizing and research for a bi-national non-profit in South Texas dedicated to environmental justice. Alma holds a BS in Energy and Sustainability Policy from Penn State, and is passionate about equitable climate solutions and working towards a just and clean energy transition.

During her free time, she enjoys curating playlists and DJing, brushing up on her viola playing, taking long walks with her dog, Onara, and trying out new recipes and restaurants.
