Background

About Marissa Lerner

As an individual passionate about climate change mitigation and adaptation, urban systems, and environmental justice, I seek opportunities to catalyze positive change in the environmental and urban realm. My specialization in Environmental Earth Science and Systems Engineering provide critical technical skills and large-scale, systems problem-solving thinking. I'm curious about ZNE and ZNC living, passive and living building design, low-carbon technology, regenerative agriculture, and any other modes of sustainable living. I aspire to increase climate action and sustainability, be it through building code energy efficiency updates, local, state, and national advocacy for energy efficient standards, urban agriculture experience, resiliency planning, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or System Dynamic Modelling with Stella. Through the Danforth, McLeod, and Civic Scholarship programs at Washington University in St. Louis, I expanded my potential for civic leadership and inspired others to realize the intersectionality of human rights and environmental issues.
