Carol’s interest in energy efficiency began during her Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and Society when a professor reworked his course to explore Canada becoming a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol. Since then, whether in consulting, R&D, applications engineering or non-profit work, Carol has always sought out mission-driven projects with interesting problems to solve.

Carol’s career began in the water innovation sector, motivated by a deep love of Ontario’s lakes. After completing a Master’s degree in modelling a novel wastewater treatment process, she pivoted to researching and advocating for water efficiency. She authored the first report in Canada quantifying the significance of the water-energy nexus, influenced provincial legislation and was later appointed to the board of an Ontario environmental technology accelerator.

In recent years, Carol could often be found lending a hand with a local organization or campaign by building a database, creating a community program or flooding an ice rink. Recently, her work with an HVAC contractor both led to exuberantly sharing about heat pumps with friends and to joining Efficiency Canada. She values family, camping, forest walks with friends and a good laugh.
