Highlights
Jessie Martin, who earned her MS in in Cultural and Environmental Resource Management at CWU in 2017, is Director of ESG and Sustainable Finance at KSS Advisors in Boston. Her research at CWU included researching the economic impacts of the historical use of lead arsenate as an orchard pesticide in Wenatchee, WA.
