During the summer of 2019, Ingrid Eck worked for the City of Middletown as their Sustainability Fellow. In addition to assisting the Clean Energy Task Force, the Sustainability Team, and the Food Policy Council with a variety of projects, she compiled the municipality’s second-ever sustainability certification application to Sustainable CT. The project involved creating a detailed inventory of all sustainability projects, programs, and events led or supported by the City, evaluating the strengths and weakness of the City’s current sustainability profile, and identifying a strategy plan for improving this profile. Originally from Tucson, AZ, Ingrid graduated from Wesleyan University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Government, Environmental Studies, and French Studies. Following her Fellowship, she began work as a field organizer and campaign director for One Virginia 2021 in the greater Washington DC area through Green Corps. Ingrid plans to pursue a lifelong career in environmental policy. Her passions include environmental justice, food sustainability, and animal rights.
