She conducts research and coordinates cross-sector convenings to develop policy recommendations that inform grid modernization, emergency response, and utility rate-setting with equity and affordability at the center. Qëndresa also holds a concurrent role at Columbia Climate School’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP), where she works on vulnerability metrics, hazard projections, rural disaster risk, and equity-informed emergency planning.
