Goldman Copeland Energy Engineer Julia Dworetzky Featured in Public Television Documentary Series “Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State” on New York’s Energy Future
New York, NY – August 8, 2023 – Goldman Copeland, the New York City-based consulting engineering firm, announced today that Julia Dworetzky, an Energy Engineer at the firm, is featured in the public television documentary series “Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State,” which explores New York’s energy future. The series is created by Roadtrip Nation, the renowned, mission-driven, media production and career education platform that is supported by the Strada Education Foundation.
Julia Dworetzky is one of three featured “roadtrippers,” who are the focus of the four-episode series as they travel over three weeks from Buffalo to Long Island, exploring energy innovations and meeting with energy leaders generating those innovations. A 2021 graduate of Duke University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Julia grew up in Los Angeles and moved to New York City after graduating from college.
At 23, she is the oldest of the three “roadtrippers.” The others are Leila Tevlin, who is studying environmental science and sustainability at Elmira College, and David Yang, who just graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor’s degree in sustainable development and computer science.
Their roadtrip was filmed in fall 2022, and the documentary series began airing yesterday on public television in New York and across the country. “Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State” is being presented by KQED and promoted by NETA, the National Educational Telecommunications Association, one of the nation’s leading service organizations strengthening and amplifying public media’s education mission. The series is funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, or NYSERDA.
“It’s exciting to be part of “Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State” and thereby to highlight energy innovation in New York and bring it to national attention,” said Julia Dworetzky. “It’s energizing to see those innovations unfold and to reveal the dynamic careers they contain. The future of our nation and the world literally depends on them and others like them.”
“Engineers are at the center of the innovations that will determine the sustainability of our planet,” said Tristan Schwartzman, Principal and Director of Energy Services at Goldman Copeland. “Julia Dworetzky is part of a new generation of energy engineers that holds many of the keys to that future, and through ‘Roadtrip Nation: Empowered State’ she is giving greater visibility to engineering careers and their vital impact. Goldman Copeland is thrilled that she is part of this project, and we are grateful to NYSERDA for providing its essential funding.”
