Although Becky Brodsky began her career in graphic design and Spanish language education, a deep love of nature and a sense of responsibility to preserve it for future generations have always been core values.

It was 2008, on her son’s first day of Kindergarten, when her green schools career pivot began. She was struck by the immense amount of waste at the new parent coffee event. A few weeks later, Becky organized a parent-led school Green Team to address zero waste opportunities. Beginning as a parent leader and later as a Zero Waste Schools professional, this initiative led to years of in-school sustainability projects, education, and advocacy that were executed district-wide and beyond. Since 2019, Becky has had the opportunity to bring her experience and passion for green schools to SGA. She loves that her work allows her to engage and utilize all of her past experiences working in the classroom, collaborating with school staff, implementing zero waste initiatives, designing resources, and even speaking Spanish!

When she’s not talking about reducing waste, Becky enjoys dancing, working out, hiking, gardening, cooking, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends.
