Patrick Pelegri-O’Day
I grew up in the SF Bay Area and studied Public Policy and Economics at Pomona College, graduating in 2015. I am a dual USA-Spain citizen through my dad. I have worked on environmental policy through the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. For the past two years I’ve worked as a sustainability and resilience planner in the Bay Area where I also mentor high schoolers taking leadership on sustainability. I feel increasingly drawn to the role of regenerative and cooperative enterprise in this Just Transition which is why I’m participating in the LIFT MBA program. I am inspired by the potential to heal relationships between the human and more-than-human world and to dismantle structures of oppression for a more just and connected culture.
