Paige Hughes

TESI Environmental Leaders Fellow
Fall 2025

Paige Hughes is a sophomore from Tampa, Florida studying information systems, sustainability studies, and sustainability and the built environment. Through this fellowship, Paige is interested in learning more about how renewable energy sources can be used to improve the quality of life of Gulf communities in the state of Florida. 

In her professional life, she hopes to work in information technology within a renewable/clean energy company to move towards a future that is more sustainable in its energy consumption in the most efficient way possible. 

In her free time, she enjoys listening to music and discovering new bands, visiting state parks and nature preserves, and taking care of stray cats. 

“I am most excited to learn how my efforts can directly improve the lives of people in my home state of Florida while increasing my knowledge of the unique challenges we face.”
