Mikaela Engert’s Summary

My dream job: Take my passion for snowboarding and sustainability and work for a company in the action sports industry to help them shape their environmental initiatives. After all, if there's no snow, there's no snowboarding.

With that said, my job in planning is pretty darn cool too. And working on the issue of climate change is really important. So, anyway that I can give back and leave this world better and more resilient, then that's where I need to be!

Mikaela Engert’s Specialties:

Greenhouse gas emission inventories, comprehensive planning, public planning processes, innovative land use regulations, community-wide visioning, budgeting, marketing and communications, energy planning, food security, and smart growth.

My name is Mikaela Engert. I work for the City of Keene, New Hampshire as a city planner.
