About Autumn
Biography
I describe myself as a law and public policy nerd. While I am passionate about environmental, food/agriculture, and animal law and policy, much of my work falls within energy policy. I am currently focused on reducing carbon emissions in the electric sector by moving to clean energy and closing fossil fuels, as well as reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector by moving towards electric vehicles. I am experienced in policy advocacy at all levels of government and have been working in the environmental sector since 2007 and the energy sector since 2016.
I am a licensed attorney in Oregon and Washington. I am also registered as In House Counsel with the State Bar of Arizona.

Autumn is everything a lawyer should be!
Autumn is professional, quick, and extremely amazing! She goes beyond to see that all details are covered and everything is done correctly.
