Rebecca Klossner

Rebecca credits her enthusiasm for nature to her upbringing on a farm, and to her mom, a science teacher. Her dedication to energy efficiency started in childhood when she would hang the family’s laundry out to dry in the sun. Reducing waste of all kinds became a way of life for her. Before joining Michaels, she worked as an Urban Planner and Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Syracuse. In that role, she helped advance initiatives to make the city more walkable and bikeable, reducing reliance on cars. She also managed and coordinated the City’s energy efficiency projects, including transitioning the entire city street lighting system to LEDs with smart controls.
