As "Within 4 Walls" Intern, I effectively worked with a team to provided residents in moderate to low- to moderate-income neighborhoods in Kingston, NY with free indoor air quality and energy efficiency home tests. Working with energy audit experts, I sketched annotated floor plans in the field to communicate the location of HVAC equipment and other relevant appliances. This research and advocacy work aimed to develop a case that the housing stock provided under Section 8 should adhere to higher insulation and indoor air quality standards and was an extension of the non-profit initiative I created and developed in collaboration with Keyvious Avery at Bard College in 2020.
