Monica Chitre
Bio
As the Alliance Admin & Finance Coordinator for the NUMO alliance (hosted by WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities), Monica manages both the team’s day-to-day operations as well as the team’s finances. Back in 2018, she joined NUMO as one of the team’s first employees and worked closely with her colleagues to build out the team from an initial six-million-dollar grant. Prior to joining NUMO, Monica was Executive Assistant to the lead co-counsel of the high profile “Juliana vs. U.S.” climate change case.
Monica holds a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Public Policy from the University of California, Berkeley. Her primary focus throughout her undergraduate career was on sustainable development and environmental justice. Now, in her professional life, she continues to refine this focus towards sustainable finance. Monica was previously selected as a Fellow for the Gender, Equity, and the Environment program at the Sierra Club and was a blog contributor with the Worldwatch Institute.
