Prior to joining Prospira, Tess was leading live climate journalism programming in collaboration with The New York Times. She oversaw the curation and delivery of live journalism interviews and conferences at global events such as COP26,27,28, UNGA, the World Economic Forum, London and New York Climate Week, and multiple bespoke moments across 4 continents.

Tess also worked on content curation and coalition building on topics such as climate and mental health, climate and food systems, and corporate engagement with the Sustainable Development Goals.

After completing her undergraduate degree at The University of Michigan — with a focus on International Studies and Entrepreneurship — she started her career working with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and then transitioned to working with elected officials, across New York, in a campaign finance capacity.

Tess is keen to use her varied experience to inform progress on global mental health initiatives - both in the private and public sector.
