April Young Professional of the Month: Miranda Wolf

We are thrilled to highlight Miranda Wolf as April’s YP of the Month! Miranda currently works for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in the Organics Reduction and Recycling Section.

Miranda’s journey into composting started when she took a college course her freshman year that focused on creating educational materials for local K-12 students about the problem with food waste and solutions to it, including composting. After her freshman year, Miranda had various other internships and work opportunities while getting her undergraduate degree in Environmental Science and Policy that furthered her passion and experience related to food waste and composting. After completing her degree in December 2022, she went on to complete her Master’s in Environmental Policy where she continued to work on projects related to food waste and composting. Miranda earned her master’s degree in May 2024 and immediately began working at her current job with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

Miranda is currently the YP Outreach Committee Chair. As the committee chair, she puts together the Young Professionals section of the Compost Communicator each month, posts information to the USCC Young Professionals Group LinkedIn group and coordinates all things YP of the Month.

Congratulations to Miranda for her outstanding contributions to the composting industry and her dedication to the YP Group as the chair of the Outreach Committee!
