Former Tribal Energy Program Intern Guides Tribes Toward a More Sustainable Path

Suzanne Singer is a former intern of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Tribal Energy Program (2008 and 2009). She has a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of California–Berkeley. Currently, she is working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) as an Energy and Thermal Fluids Analyst where she has an ongoing project to produce Sankey diagrams to analyze energy data and life cycle flows on tribal lands. Applying the knowledge and insights she gained from her work at LLNL, her internship, and her science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, Singer is educating Tribes on how to use their own resources and land to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
