She joined the Monadnock Sustainability Network’s steering community working on community supported solar soon after relocating and has been working with MSN ever since! With MEH she has reinvigorated her passion for renewable energy and is digging into issues and learning as much as she can to be effective in moving our community forward toward the reduction of greenhouse gases and sustainable living. She is happy to be working toward a better future for her neighbors and larger Monadnock community and cannot wait to meet anyone seeking a greener future and looking ways to save money while making sensible energy decisions.[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]
Jennifer Zakrzewski, Intern
Jennifer was born and raised in the Monadnock Region, but she first became interested in sustainability through a year volunteering with AmeriCorps Cape Cod. She then spent a few years exploring her options by teaching environmental education, supervising for AmeriCorps, waiting tables, and traveling. She has now returned to the area, and is pursuing an MS in Resilient and Sustainable Communities. She is excited to be learning more about clean energy and helping increase the resilience of her home community!

Dori Drachman
Dori spent most of her career as an educator. She founded a school that organizes its curriculum around environmental education and was a classroom teacher for more than a decade. After earning her masters degree in environmental education from Antioch University New England, she worked as a teacher/naturalist for the Harris Center for Conservation Education. After years of taking kids into the woods with the goal of inspiring them to care for our planet, Dori decided that we actually couldn’t wait that long. So she helped re-start the Peterborough Energy Committee (PEC) and became its Chair. The PEC is a founding member of the Monadnock Energy Hub. [/text_output][text_output]
