About MacKenzie Ryan

Open to impactful opportunities in renewable energy, ESG, and sustainable finance, I am a graduate student at Columbia University\'s School of International and Public Affairs, specializing in Energy systems and Environmental policy. With a GPA of 3.79, I actively contribute as a Teaching Assistant within the Sustainable Development Program and have spearheaded events on campus, including those with the Sustainable Business Working Group, where I educate peers on concepts like ESG. My classwork includes ESG investing, Quantitative Analysis, Micro, Macro, and Energy Economics, Accounting, and Carbon Pricing. As an External Affairs Graduate Intern at Clearway Energy Group, I navigate high-pressure legislative sessions and foster relationships with community-based organizations and trade associations nationwide. My journey includes impactful research roles at the Center on Global Energy Policy and the United Nations, where I crafted policy briefs for global energy cooperation and advocated for UN SDG goals. Beyond academia, my dedication to sustainability is highlighted by my role as a Fulbright Scholar in Taiwan. I was featured in national news for reducing food waste and promoting global environmental awareness. With proficiency in Sustainalytics, MSCI, SPSS, Excel, and intermediate Mandarin Chinese skills, I am well-equipped to contribute to ESG investing and sustainability consulting. Let\'s connect and explore opportunities to drive sustainable solutions together.
