A few EDF Climate Corps alumni have shared their stories--from where they started to where they are today.
Radhika Lalit
Senior Associate, Rocky Mountain Institute
Ten years ago, Radhika Lalit was invigorated by a new sense of purpose and determination: Instead of helping people adapt to a changing climate, she was going to stop it from happening.
Jess Newman
Director, U.S. Agronomy, Anheuser Busch InBev
Having grown up in a family of gardeners it was only natural that Jess Newman would develop a love for the environment. And it wasn’t long before it became her mission to protect it. Jess realized that to achieve the change she wanted, she had to work with the “movers and shakers” in the private sector. So when a position in raw materials procurement at Anheuser-Busch opened up, she knew she had found a perfect fit.
