Alexandra Gearing

Alexandra co-coordinates the team at WRI working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Syracuse University's Environmental Finance Center (SU EFC) on the "Accelerating Access to Funding for Clean and Healthy Water in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands" project. WRI formed the EPA Equity Advisory Committee focusing on identifying gaps in equity for communities working to access the technology, infrastructure, and funding they need for clean water. They work to identify the necessary next steps to close these gaps. She also works with Cornell's College of Civil and Environmental Engineering and AguaClara Reach on bringing their water treatment technology to Puerto Rico. 

Alexandra's other experiences include working in Buffalo, NY and in Wellington, NZ as a water resources engineer and project coordinator on a multitude of three waters projects. Several of these projects were focused on solving water issues disproportionately affecting low-income populations.
