Background
Alissa originally joined EDF through the High Meadows Fellowship, a competitive program that places graduating Princeton seniors in two-year positions with leading non-profit organizations that promote environmental sustainability. Her High Meadows position placed her on the Health team, where she focused on improving chemical policy in the public and private sector. Following her fellowship, she worked as a research consultant with EDF and ToxServices, a product toxicology firm. With a passion for the multiple ways that sustainable and healthier products can be attained, she most recently worked as an Operations Associate and Account Manager for a start-up in DC that connects businesses with the local food community.
