Maura leads our Community Investment program team – developing overall strategy, connecting our work in focal communities, communicating what we learn, and adding capacity on the ground. She continues to advise the Automated Wood Heat program she led for seven years and facilitates the Bike Borderlands initiative she co-founded.

Before joining the Center team in 2013, Maura built an environmental stewardship program at St. Paul’s School, consulted on green building projects for the Jordan Institute, led a campus energy reduction program at Harvard University, and researched ecological restoration. Maura has a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in environmental management from the Yale School of the Environment.

Maura spends her free time trail running, mountain biking, reading, and being creative in the kitchen. She lives in an off-grid home in Deerfield, New Hampshire, with her husband and their rescue dog Fred – a near-daily office companion.
