Get to Know Me Further
I grew up in rural Ohio and developed an early appreciation for community and caring for the environment. In college, I learned about disparities in access to water, and later working as a groundwater consultant in Oregon deepened my understanding of the challenges many under-resourced communities face. Those experiences led me to pursue graduate studies and a career focused on expanding access to safe, affordable water. Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family and getting outdoors. I recently entered the world of birding and have quickly become hooked. I also enjoy being a novice ceramicist and gardener, and an even more novice guitar player.
