Bio
Rachel Carpitella
I cannot recommend Harleen highly enough. She joined my team during the pandemic, a time when the world was drastically changing in ways we could not foresee. Harleen was the perfect person for the job, adaptable with her eye on the ball. Attention to detail, organization, and follow-through are some of Harleen's strongest skills. Beyond that, she is deeply committed to sustainability and has an aptitude for learning new technology. It was always a pleasure working with Harleen and if the opportunity to hire her again were to arise I would gladly take it.
Catherine Golebiewski
As Harleen moves on with her career, I want to express what a pleasure it was working with her. For the last several months she has single handedly overseen the Clean Heating & Cooling Program at Sustainable Westchester, keeping everything on track. Her efficiency, professionalism and knowledge in energy efficiency and sustainability contribute to her excellent project management skills. These qualities, along with her delightful personality make her an amazing colleague.
