Daija Odom
Bio: My interests and passions align with sustainability, business, and storytelling. I have a background in Environmental Science, and strategic communications, and I am currently working towards entering the corporate sustainability sector. I am familiar with food waste management, energy efficiency, and GHG accounting. I strive to educate those unfamiliar with sustainability on how to make effective changes. My experience working at MOM's Organic Market during the pandemic taught me to communicate sustainability strategies in the midst of uncertainty. And my experience as a graduate student at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management has allowed me to combine my education with hard skills for clients. I am happy to connect and further discuss effective change.
