She’s taught sustainability classes at the college level and is currently employed as a sustainability consultant. She sits on the board of an arts and sustainability nonprofit, Upcycle Parts Shop, and formerly was on the board of a watershed partnership. Her family has solar panels on their roof, and she is an obsessive home composter. Maureen is happiest on a trail, in a kayak, or curled up with a book.
