For more than a decade at Earthworks, Nadia worked to defend communities and the environment against the oil and gas industry’s pollution and influence over government. She researched and wrote a library of reports exploring oil and gas impacts, which built the authority she then used to influence decisonmakers and media. Just as valuable was her professionalism: in a world where keeping your commitments is increasingly rare, Nadia could always be relied upon. — Alan Septoff, former Communications and Information Systems Director, Earthworks
I hired Nadia on contract and she’s now one of the strongest members of our team. She’s a gifted thinker, writer, and speaker, has excellent strategic insights and knowledge, and is always helpful. Nadia has a great passion for wildlife, wild places, public lands, and environmental protection. I highly recommend her to any conservation or environmental group seeking skilled advisors and leaders. — John Davis, Executive Director, the Rewilding Institute
I’ve known and worked with Nadia professionally for over a decade, including recently in her new consulting role. Nadia’s research skills and ability to understand the multi-faceted environmental issues she works on is impressive. Nadia asks the right questions, finds the right documents, and communicates effectively with both decisionmakers and impacted residents. She is skilled at coming up with ideas about how to best address environmental issues or concerns. — Matt Walker, Advocacy Director, Clean Air Council
Nadia’s analytical writing sets a high standard in the environmental policy field that I admired long before I had the opportunity to work alongside her. She writes with interdisciplinary depth and a command of primary and secondary data collection methods. Nadia’s work is informed by extensive, direct field work, including a demonstrated ability to foster relationships with those at the frontlines of environmental impacts. Her reputation is also evidenced by deep bench allies in state policy coalitions. — Leann Leiter, former field & policy advocate, Earthworks
Nadia uses data-backed approaches to turn bold goals into actionable plans. She can both develop a campaign vision and lead a team through the daily tasks required for success. Her breadth and depth of experience in the climate and energy space make her a versatile team player who is an invaluable asset to any mission-driven organization. — Hilary Lewis, Steel Director and campaign strategist, Industrious Labs
Nadia was an excellent manager who I loved working with. She has incredible expertise in both national and state oil and gas policy. We researched discrepancies in state emissions reporting systems, identified shortcomings and lack of follow through with state climate plans, and authored major state accountability reports. She taught me so much during our time as colleagues and I hope to work with her again. — Raphael Breit, former Policy and Research Analyst, Earthworks
