Center for Environmental Policy & Behavior

Hi - I’m Deandra! I graduated from UC Davis in 2014 with an EPAP degree and have been working in the private environmental sector ever since. I started as an environmental consultant doing CEQA/NEPA environmental assessments, like in ESP 179, and related tasks as part of large infrastructure projects like transmission lines, railways, and energy centers. I am now a permitting manager at Clearway Energy, a utility-scale renewable energy development company. I help guide new projects through the complex federal, state, and local discretionary permits in the US Southwest region. I love that my role and my company are both aligned in environmentalism, creating more renewable energy sources, and developing them with a sustainable, holistic approach. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more about consulting or the energy industry!
