Hadley joined ACE in 2016 as a Program Manager in the San Francisco Bay Area. While she spent a decade of her childhood roaming the rolling hills of Northern California, living in Massachusetts, Oregon, Chile, Spain, and Los Angeles also molded her youth. Hadley is grateful to have experienced a diversity of cultures across her life, and embraces the unfamiliar as an opportunity to learn and grow.  

Hadley graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.S. in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention from the Keck School of Medicine. She came away from the classroom learning environment with a renewed perspective on health; that it is tied to human rights and environmental justice, and that climate change is the largest human health threat of our era.  

During her college career, Hadley campaigned for justice for sweatshop workers, launched the Trojan Youth Soccer League to alleviate racial and economic tension within South Central Los Angeles, and gave talks to local parent groups and companies on preventing cancer and heart disease through diet. In her senior year, Hadley cofounded ClimateSign.org with the goal of creating a uniting universal symbol for the climate movement. The climate sign was projected on the Eiffel Tower during the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference.  

Hadley believes that when people of all backgrounds, ages, and perspectives come together to take on a shared challenge, anything can be accomplished. She is thrilled to be part of the ACE team and collaborate with partners across the Bay Area.
