Noah at High Rock Overlook, Pen Mar Park, Washington County

After completing a joint BA/MA program at the University of Maryland, College Park, Noah graduated in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and a master's degree in Public Policy, specializing in environmental policy. Noah's undergraduate career took him first to Peru, where he studied Macaw behavior, and then to Istanbul, for a semester abroad. Noah's love for travel did not stop as an undergraduate. During his master's program, he traveled with a winter abroad program to Indonesia to study complex socio-ecological systems and sustainable development. Noah's public policy coursework focused on climate policy, sustainability, and natural resource conservation, which was strengthened through real-world experience, while he worked as a student consultant with the World Resources Institute (WRI). As a student consultant at WRI, he identified cases of transformative adaptation, studied their drivers, and created recommendations for governments looking to engage in these large-scale transformations.

 

At the EFC, Noah supports management of the MOST Center website, is facilitating the addition of new actions to the Sustainable Maryland program, and assists with a variety of research needs. Noah is currently looking for an environmental policy position in the D.C. area, where he hopes to use the skills he has gained during his time as a student and his time at the EFC.
