Ava Barnett

I am currently a Senior Strategy Analyst at a private family office in Palo Alto, CA. I support strategic philanthropy projects in the climate space across our organization, with particular focus on two special projects: supporting the transition to renewable energy in remote communities in the South Pacific, and U.S. mega-wildfire resilience and mitigation efforts. In addition to my current role, I am also currently pursing a Diploma in Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France, learning about sustainable cooking and how to decarbonize food systems. I hope to pursue a career at the intersection of climate, food, and philanthropy.
