Bio
Kristin Fretz
Chad is extremely knowledgable about renewable energy policy and was an integral component to helping Millennial Action Project grow its network of millennial policy researches. Chad was very proactive about pitching blog topics and following through with his first and second drafts before publishing. I was always impressed with how thoroughly he researched each renewable energy policy and how he clearly communicated the nonpartisan perspective in his writing. Chad was by far the best contributor I worked with in my two years at MAP, and I strongly recommend him as an analytical thinker and hardworking team player.
