In 2008, my research began merging my organizational and environmental interests. Since then I’ve published Strategic Communication for Sustainable Organizations: Theory and Practice, 9 journal articles (I have 3 earlier articles), and applied for an EPA grant. I’ve gained certification in Global Reporting Initiative Reporting and Carbon Disclosure Project reporting. In additional I am a trained Climate Reality Leadership Corp member.
