Adan joins PSR-LA as the Air Quality Program Manager to lead the air quality program to reduce emissions that harm human health and hasten global climate change. Adan is responsible for coordinating and implementing air quality projects in communities that often carry the burden of poor air quality, maintaining stakeholder and community relationships to move forward with air quality projects, analyzing and researching air quality policies to develop equitable and science-based policy recommendations.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Adan was a Program Coordinator for the Safe Routes to School Program at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, where he promoted safe and active modes of transportation in the city of El Cajon to encourage community members to pick alternative modes of transportation, rather than using vehicles that pollute the community. Adan gained knowledge on how vehicle emission (I.E.: single-occupancy vehicles, freight vehicles) intersects with community health, impacts climate change, and how low-income and communities of color, pregnant individuals, and seniors are impacted the most from emissions.

Adan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from UC San Diego and a Masters of Public Policy from UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.

During his free time, Adan enjoys running, exploring the countless amount of restaurants that LA has to offer, cooking, and board games.
