Committed to addressing climate change impacts, Sonya has translated her passion for sustainability into a career helping her clients achieve triple bottom line objectives—people, profit and the planet. Sonya has more than 20 years of experience in solid waste management strategy and planning, sustainability and waste minimization studies, organics management, waste diversion analysis and alternatives, rate studies, and creating and implementing outreach programs.
She is a TRUE Advisor, which is a credential focused on creating and certifying zero waste policies and plans. Sonya is currently completing the Sustainability Excellence Associate (SEA) certification to help her execute work for clients in alignment with the UN’s sustainable development goals. Always looking for new technologies that challenge the status quo, Sonya is known for taking creative approaches to responding to waste management and environmental challenges.
Outside of work, Sonya enjoys barbecuing and smoking foods, woodworking, and tending to her flock of chickens. On summer days she finds joy in riding her motorcycle, or as she calls it, “wind therapy.”
