We are excited to announce that Alyse Bruneau has joined our team as Staff Accountant!
Alyse studied environmental science at Southern New Hampshire University with a focus on conservation and recently earned her Master's degree in Applied Economics. With a passion for achieving a sustainable Earth and a strong knowledge of environmental regulations, she is politically active in encouraging the public to engage in conservation efforts for vulnerable ecosystems. After working with the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, her journey into finance began when she was elected as the Chair of her voting district.
A Message from Alyse
"I realized while advocating for our globally rare pine barrens ecoregion that the key to enhancing the conversation about conservation was by connecting environmental services to monetary values. This began my academic journey into economics, where I focused on corporate finance and environmental economics.
I wanted a career that does more than just make a profit. When I discovered Polus I knew I could stand with the mission and values of this nonprofit. I wanted to apply my skills to further those aspirations along with the international team that composes Polus.
In my free time, I am a naturalist. Spending my time outside. Listening for birds, looking for different plants, and hoping for a glimpse of any wild animals."
