Riley Boutwell profile and information

Short Bio

A recent graduate from Auburn University with a major in Global Studies and a minor in Sustainability Studies. I’m passionate about renewable energy and the role it plays in creating more equitable and sustainable communities. I’ve worked with Energy Alabama, where I helped promote energy literacy and equitable access to clean power through outreach and advocacy. I also wrote an op-ed on the TVA’s energy plan that pushed for stronger renewable goals. I have also worked with Futuro Azul in El Salvador, supporting projects that focus on electric mobility and resource efficiency across Latin America. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of how sustainability connects with social and economic development. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Development Practice to continue developing the skills needed to design and implement equitable energy solutions around the world. My goal is to help expand renewable energy access and support communities in building a cleaner, more resilient future.
