Pamela Yonkin, ENV SP

Pam is committed to sustainability and resilience efforts that help clients make informed decisions as infrastructure challenges continually evolve. She builds on her economics background to help clients integrate sustainability and resilience features into their projects. That’s what drives her, and she uses it to help clients synthesize information in meaningful and impartial ways.

Communicating the basis for decisions to stakeholders further fuels her passion.

“Helping people understand our approach to a project, our findings, in ways that make sense and are shareable, can be a real challenge. And it’s something I find remarkably fulfilling when we do it well.”

Pam co-created our Sustainable Value Assessment, a framework for valuing even hard-to-quantify social and environmental infrastructure impacts. She’s active with the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) Sustainability Leadership Committee and writes and presents frequently on infrastructure's influence on economic development and the benefits of sustainable and resilient design.

Few things are as professionally fulfilling to Pam as using the infrastructure she helped make possible.
