About Miriam Parson

Over a decade in nonprofit program management for asset based community development and sustainability. A master's thesis that maps successful change management tactics employed by sustainability directors in Pittsburgh's corporate and local government institutions. An undergrad dual-degree honors level thesis employing behavioral economics strategy to measurably increase participation in environmental conservation programs."Miriam brings a lot of positivity to the work and always stays solutions-focused. Rather than complaining about externalities in her work, Miriam’s response to a challenge is always to focus on what she can control and influence, such as asking for support from teammates, trying new experiments, or reprioritizing time on challenging programs.” ~A peer's 360 review while the Match Programs Director at ioby.org “Miriam is good at balancing a lot of different projects and priorities. She's also good at keeping others on track to reach shared goals, and at taking feedback and making constructive changes.” ~A peer's 360 review while the Match Programs Director at ioby.org When Miriam isn't getting excited about local coalitions building a thriving future in their community, she's playing with plants on her micro farm, volunteering in local parks, reading history through disenfranchised lenses, and spending time on the water with her husband.
