Julianna McVeigh

Julianna joined Save the Sound in September 2024 and is working to connect climate data to action through policy and storytelling. With a BS in Public Health Education from William Paterson University of New Jersey and a Master of Public Health focused on health policy and climate change from Yale School of Public Health, she thrives at the intersection of health and the environment and is excited to get to do both here.

Julianna comes to Save the Sound with experience in local and state government programming and policy, non-profit advocacy, and community outreach. Prior to her role at Save the Sound, Julianna worked in the Office of Climate Planning at the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, working on the state’s Comprehensive Climate Action Plan. She is also a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and has a certification as a Green Infrastructure Champion. When not at work, she enjoys exploring Connecticut’s coasts and greenspaces, reading, and making various types of bread!
