Juan Miranda

Juan Miranda grew up in the Bay Area and went to UC Santa Barbara where he received a B.S. in Environmental Studies in 2019. Juan chose sustainability because of his love for exploring the outdoors in California and experience with poor air quality during holiday visits to Mexico City, where he was born. After graduation, he focused on waste reduction with roles at Recology and RethinkWaste, before completing a ClimateCorps Fellowship at San Mateo County Community College District focused on sustainable procurement and circularity. During his fellowship he participated in the Green Building Practicum, and now is part of the support for that program.
