Molly Nagle

Molly graduated from the EPM program in 2022. Her background in rangeland research while working for land management agencies made her curious about data’s role in policy and decision making. She started working at Ascent Environmental while completing her MS and has since worked as an environmental planner on a wide range of projects including wildfire and fuel management planning, utility resilience projects, the Great Redwood Trail, and the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Plan. She will continue to expand her knowledge of state and local planning processes while prioritizing projects that aim to conserve natural resources; ideally after a long bike ride or trying a new recipe.
