Larissa Johnson, MPA, Edutainer and Residential Energy Program Manager, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection
For the last twenty years, Larissa has dedicated her life to working with and for communities; helping people create sustainable, walk-able, bike-able, healthy neighborhoods that cultivate hale and hearty children and invigorate the communities’ livelihood. Prior to receiving her MPA in Environmental Science and Policy from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs she worked predominantly in the field of nutrition, physical activity, and chronic disease prevention and what she gleaned through her work is that the environment is at the center of literally everything we do in life. And energy is the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions so she works to educate people in an entertaining, engaging way on the connections between energy and our planet.
