Alexis Voeltner

My journey into sustainability began at the University of California, Irvine, where I majored in environmental science and was given an incredible opportunity to intern with the facilities team. I was entrusted with a budget to perform LEED certifications on several campus buildings, evaluating and improving their energy efficiency, water use, and air quality. This meaningful experience as a student intern led to my first job offer from Healthy Buildings, the company I had hired to perform engineering assessments. Over 5 years there, I managed over 150 green building certifications across all types of buildings, from new construction to existing buildings, gaining experience with a full range of building teams and types. When Healthy Buildings was acquired by UL Solutions in 2019, I transitioned into carbon accounting and enterprise sustainability consulting at the corporate level. Now, with 13 years in the industry, I help corporations understand their emissions, set sustainability goals, and work through how to achieve them as an organization. I'm really proud of the hundreds of projects I've successfully completed and the impact I'm having in making a more sustainable, resilient future for the next generation. My passion for this work stems from growing up camping with my family and getting immersed in the natural world. Once you have those natural experiences in untouched spaces like national parks, you grow to love them and want to protect them. That's what keeps my work meaningful and keeps me engaged.
