About Anthony Jr Minchella

Experienced public relations and stakeholder engagement professional supporting complex electric and gas infrastructure projects across the Northeast. My work focuses on coordinating communication between project teams and external stakeholders—including municipalities, contractors, and community members—to help infrastructure projects move efficiently from planning through active construction while maintaining transparency and strong community relationships.As a Project Engagement Field Specialist at Eversource Energy, I serve as a field-based liaison facilitating communication between project teams, municipal officials, contractors, and the public for major electric transmission infrastructure projects. I focus on stakeholder engagement, addressing community concerns, and supporting alignment with regulatory requirements and project timelines while helping project teams navigate challenges that arise during active construction.Prior to joining Eversource, I worked at Burns & McDonnell, where I supported regulated utility clients on infrastructure projects across Connecticut and New York. In that role, I helped develop public outreach strategies, prepare project communications, and coordinate stakeholder engagement throughout the lifecycle of complex infrastructure and construction projects.Earlier in my career, I worked as a paralegal at Minchella & Associates, conducting legal research using Westlaw, drafting pleadings and discovery documents in state and federal courts, and improving internal case management systems by designing custom data-tracking workflows that increased firm efficiency.I hold a Master of Science in Public Relations from Quinnipiac University and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from St. Bonaventure University (cum laude) with minors in Law & Society and Business Administration. I am currently a Juris Doctor candidate at Quinnipiac University School of Law (Class of 2029).My professional interests include energy infrastructure, public policy, regulatory law, and litigation, particularly where legal frameworks and stakeholder engagement influence the development, delivery, and execution of complex infrastructure projects.
