President & Editor in Chief: Teresa Meloni
Teresa is originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. With a background in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Utah's Honors college and time spent both managing restaurants in SLC and in the corporate finance world working for Morgan Stanley, she is furthering her interest in human forward policy making through an environmental policy concentration in cohorts with classes from both the Sanford School of Public Policy and the Nicholas School for the Environment.
Through in depth policy analysis she hopes to further her writing skills through journalistic endeavors bringing in both scientific methodologies, research based best practices, and a never dying hope for her fellow compatriots in correcting failures of our systems.
