NNRG welcomes two summer interns to our staff, Marketing Intern Jennifer Whitelaw and Administrative Intern Emily Singleton. Both will be assisting staff with a wide variety of tasks to help us serve you better. We’re excited and thankful for the skills and energy they bring to the organization. As you interact with either Jennifer or Emily, we encourage you to help them better understand your particular field of interest.

Jennifer comes to NNRG with a wealth of professional knowledge, with a special emphasis on sustainable design and practices. She is the founder of award-winning Whitelaw Marketing, Inc. and has experience in marketing, research, advertising campaign design, public relations and film and video production. She has worked in a variety of industries, including real estate, banking and financial services, arts and entertainment, nonprofit, and professional services firms. Jennifer's work has earned an AMY award from American Marketing Association, an Emmy award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and a Telly award. Before making the move to the Puget Sound area, Jennifer served for several years on the board of Urban Land Institute San Diego/Tijuana District Council, as president of Citizens Coordinate for Century 3, and as a member of the Downtown San Diego Partnership public facilities committee.

Emily comes to us from Peninsula College, working toward a degree in environmental engineering, with a long-term goal of expanding to environmental engineering law. Over the last several years she has traveled extensively and has lived in Florida, Arizona, Oregon, and recently returned to her Washington home. While compelled by the beauty she witnessed around the country, she was also struck by the rapid and universal degradation of ecosystems.  She decided her skills would be best put to use in reforming the systems that put societal values at odds with environmental needs. She looks forward to innovating approaches to industry and growth that function in cohesion with the environment, and her time spent with NNRG will be the next step in that process.
