His interest in the intersection of climate change mitigation and social justice came from his grad school capstone project that focused on equity in access to healthy foods in Washington, D.C.\n<br><br>\nMichael holds a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and History from Duquesne University and a Masters in Public Policy from The George Washington University. After nearly a decade living in Washington, D.C. and New York City he currently resides in his hometown of Pittsburgh.\n\n<br><br>When not at work, Michael enjoys playing guitar (he has yet to receive any noise complaints from his neighbors!), biking, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. And when we\u2019re not in the middle of a global pandemic he also enjoys spending too much of his salary on concert tickets and traveling to new cities in search of amazing food and cleverly-named IPAs. \n\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0c6a0d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c0c6a0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jmichaeljarrett\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-lg\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Connect with michael<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1218211 elementor-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"1218211\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/unifiedground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Image-from-iOS-e1661814394554-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h2 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Alena Perez<\/h2><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\"><b>Operations<\/b>\n<br><br>\nAlena brings her global public health lens and expertise in strategic partnership building and operational program management.
