Vanessa co-founded the EV Charging for All coalition, where she convenes the national EV Codes Working Group and advocates for equitable EV readiness in building energy codes. She is a climate solutions advocate with previous roles in leadership, campaigns and organizing at Plug In America, Atmos Financial, Fossil Free California, 350.org, The Bioneers, and The League of Conservation Voters. As a documentary filmmaker, she produced “The Insular Empire", a PBS feature documentary about America’s colonial territories, and the award-winning kids video “Worse Than Poop” - which may still be the only funny film about EVs and the climate crisis.
