Strategy Modeling and Visualization Team
Nick grew up in the Central Valley in Northern California, surrounded by fields of sunflowers, corn, and tomatoes. While in college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Nick stumbled into a geography class and immediately became enthralled with understanding human-environmental interactions.
Prior to joining Lotus, Nick worked both in the non-profit sector, assessing impacts of electric vehicle rebate programs, and in the public sector, quantifying air pollution impacts on federal lands. He has a BS in Anthropology and Geography from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and a MA in Applied Geography and Geospatial Science from University of Colorado-Denver.
Nick believes and is passionate about applying his data analysis, modeling, and GIS experience to co-create equity centered solutions. He is excited to help clients make data-informed climate action decisions and to tell their sustainability stories through impactful data visualizations.
