Social Impact
ReMove (University Move-Out Waste Mitigation Startup)
Winner of UC Berkeley's Civic Innovation Challenge (selected by Mayor Ishii, Chancellor Lyons, and CA CTO Vera Zakem) and Big Ideas Contest Finalist. We develop comprehensive, end-to-end circular economy solutions and partnerships to mitigate illegal dumping. Featured in Berkeley News.
Winchester High School Cafeteria Waste Recycling Program
Spearheaded initiative with potential to divert up to 20,000 lbs of food waste annually, alongside the transfer station, school administration, town's Climate Action Advisory Committee, and student government. Commended by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's School Waste Reduction and Diversion Working Group as a successful case study and scalable model for other schools.
