Sarah Lehan is a Climate Content Associate at FischTank specializing in the sustainability, renewable energy, and real estate sectors. She first felt the pull towards energy transition work while working in research advisory, when she saw climate change embodied in the bare peaks, dry reservoirs, and smoky skies of a nine-month remote-work road trip of the American Rockies. Since then, she’s created a podcast, written freelance sustainability content, and slathered local bread in homemade Nutella on a gap year in northwest Germany. Whether scavenger hunting for Passivhaus architecture or fangirling Low Countries’ cycling infrastructure, Sarah loves to investigate how sustainability intersects with livability, especially in urban planning and design.
Sarah graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College with a bachelor’s degree in History. Her senior honors thesis (on women’s social networks in medieval travel) found a surprising amount of parallels with her modern-day travel experiences. She’s often found hiking, biking, running, or napping outside, frequently while streaming energy podcasts or The Economist and dreaming of the day she adopts a Samoyed.
