About Amy Knight
Driven by a passion for thriving communities and ecosystems, my work and personal life are dedicated to mentoring young professionals and helping people fall in love with the ocean. With 10+ years experience in climate education and outreach that spans the K-12 classroom, nonprofits, research institutions and universities, I develop programming and forge partnerships between stakeholders that leverage existing resources to reach strategic goals. I love a good challenge and believe that the best approach to solving problems is to learn more and collaborate.I’m especially interested in learning how cross-sector partnerships can seed opportunities for California’s low-carbon workforce of the future. Let’s chat!
