Dylan made his move to Charleston in 2023 to pursue his master’s in both environmental and sustainable sciences and public administration. He initially joined the Coastal Conservation League as a graduate intern for the Energy program, where he completed a project that demystified energy bills, assisted in research on data center energy demand, and began working on his thesis, which aims to improve how energy burden — the share of a household’s income spent on energy utilities — is measured. Dylan is excited to join the team full time as Energy & Climate Project Coordinator, where he taps into his experience in GIS technology and helps advance all departments with new ways to approach conservation in South Carolina. Dylan is earning a certificate in GIS through the College of Charleston and is set to graduate with two master’s degrees in 2026.
