Leigh Miller (she/her) studied Environment & Sustainability in college. After graduating, she knew she wanted a role that would advance sustainability solutions for her local community. Having previously interned for HeatSmart Tompkins and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County, it was natural for her to seek out the Community Energy Advisor position at Smart Energy Choices.
“I’m very interested in the bigger issue of climate change and want to help reduce emissions and have a better, more environmentally friendly world for future generations.”
Leigh has been in Tompkins County most of her life, and she thoroughly enjoys working on a small scale to help her community. She said this small scope allows her to see the significant impact she has on the residents she serves every day, encouraging her to continue pursuing the Hub’s mission of educating residents on energy-related issues.
Leigh has become well-versed in the various grant programs and financial incentives that people can access to reduce their energy bills, so she welcomes the opportunity to help residents navigate them. In her spare time, Leigh likes to dive into a good book or spend time outside going on walks and runs.
