The Socioeconomic and Policy Implications of Offshore Wind Implementation
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Mark Paul

Jessica is a second-year Master of Public Policy student at the Bloustein School concentrating in Climate and Energy Policy. Prior to pursuing her graduate degree, she completed her undergraduate degree in Economics at Rutgers, New Brunswick. She is passionate about climate justice and addressing economic inequality through climate mitigation policy. Her research will focus on the current policy mechanisms being used to ensure net socioeconomic benefits to the state of New Jersey. She will assess potential opportunities to not only secure these benefits through additional policies, but to build on the progress of offshore wind implementation with complementary legislation. Her work will also analyze well-established offshore wind industries in the EU and UK to generate recommendations for decision-makers.
