About Taliesin Namkai-Meche

Taliesin lost his life in an act of selfless bravery intervening during a racist attack and horrendous stabbing on a commuter train in Portland, Oregon. Valuing differences and refusing to condone bigotry, he was defending two Black teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab. His act of courage speaks to his immense character and deep regard for others. Taliesin joined Cadmus as a summer intern in 2015. During his internship, Taliesin provided analysis in support of utility energy efficiency program evaluations. The connection between energy and economics became the topic of Taliesin’s senior thesis, which examined household substitution of space heating fuels in response to long-run changes in prices of electricity and natural gas. After graduating from Reed College with a B.A. in economics, Taliesin rejoined Cadmus as a full-time analyst, where he applied his academic training in economics and econometrics. Throughout his time with Cadmus, Taliesin took on ever more challenging work assignments and became a trusted and valued member of the Cadmus team.
