Audrey Leida
Audrey Leida graduated in May 2026 from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Environmental Studies. During her time with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, she worked to connect constituents with lawmakers, helping translate complex policy into accessible advocacy around pollinator-friendly farming. She also gained legislative experience at the Vermont State House, where she supported Representative Burke’s efforts to advance equity in climate policy, energy systems, and environmental rights. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to public service and environmental protection. Audrey was excited to continue this work as a Research Intern with the Energy Action Network, contributing to efforts to achieve Vermont’s climate goals.
