As Earth Advantage's education coordinator for more than five years, Heather was the friendly face and voice that greeted many of the hundreds of participants of the various training classes she managed. She came to Earth Advantage with a passion to do good and a desire to personify the motto she strove to live by: be the change you wan to see in the world. Heather completely changed her career trajectory before arriving at Earth Advantage, leaving higher education to follow a new professional path and join a sustainability-focused organization that did good for both people and the environment. We are thankful Heather found a home at Earth Advantage and grateful for all she brought to our community. Earth Advantage hopes that others can follow Heathers's lead and benefit from the Kendall SHP Scholarship to direct their focus towards a career in green building and energy efficiency.
