Housing & Energy Project Coordinator
ThreeCubed
Knoxville, Tennessee
Laura currently is the Housing and Energy Project Coordinator with Three3. She is most motivated to participate directly in homes where help is needed the most. Laura is driven by service and the need for impactful policy research for equitable and resilient communities for all. Her project work includes a HUD (Housing & Urban Development) Technical grant to investigate respiratory health outcomes related to indoor air quality, a TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) Connected Communities grant to install systems with an application called EASIER designed to alert elders about indoor and outdoor conditions that might impact their health, and an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Environmental and Energy Justice grant to revisit weatherized homes determining vulnerabilities and resiliency to climate change impacts expected in Knoxville, TN. She earned her graduate degree in public policy and administration, concentrating in energy and environmental policy, from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Prior to Three3, she’s advocated access to clean, affordable energy, organized Knoxville’s first Mayoral Energy Forum, and spoke regionally about the continuing disproportionate energy burden in the southeast. Laura’s goal is to continue connecting communities, encouraging participation, and serving through policy research and education to drive resiliency in our diverse southeastern communities.
