Background

About Leanne Ulrich

Adaptable and experienced environmental professional with a strong foundation in renewable energy consulting and a renewed focus on re-entering the field with sharpened interpersonal and leadership skills. With several years of experience in environmental science — including hands-on fieldwork, data analysis and reporting, environmental permitting, and client relations — I’ve led solar-focused initiatives and contributed to high-impact projects spanning aviation, oil and gas, and fiber-optic infrastructure. I specialized in navigating the complexities of introducing solar projects to small towns, coordinating with local code officials to resolve permitting and regulatory hurdles that were often highly specific and unprecedented. Currently working full-time as a Bartender/Server at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center, I’ve strengthened my ability to work under pressure, manage diverse personalities, and deliver exceptional service in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. As the only team member cross-trained across AM and PM shifts, I’ve demonstrated versatility, reliability, and a commitment to excellence that mirrors my performance in the science and consulting world. I’m passionate about renewable energy and excited to bring my people-first mindset, adaptability, and problem-solving skills back into the environmental sector — especially in client-facing and project leadership roles. Hospitality has honed my emotional intelligence and real-time decision-making, making me an even more effective communicator and collaborator in complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
