Adan is the Air Quality Program Manager, leading the air quality program to reduce emissions that harm human health and accelerate global climate change. Adan is responsible for coordinating and implementing air quality projects in communities that often bear the burden of poor air quality, maintaining stakeholder and community relationships to advance these projects, and analyzing and researching air quality policies to develop equitable, 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 of how vehicle emissions (i.e., single-occupancy and freight vehicles) intersect with community health, contribute to climate change, and affect low-income communities and communities of color, pregnant individuals, and seniors the most.

Adan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master's of Public Policy from the University of California, Los Angeles, 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 playing board games.
