About
I am originally from Cheyenne, WY. Growing up in the arid West, I understood at a young age the necessity of sustainable water resource management. After graduating with a B.S. in Environmental Science from the University of Oregon, I worked for 3 years in Washington, D.C. for an environmental non-profit. I then went to the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) for my Master's degree in Civil Engineering, focusing on Water Resources. At CU, I worked for the Bureau of Reclamation at the Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environment Systems (CADSWES) and researched changing demands within the Colorado River Basin. I am currently the Treasurer for the Engineer's Without Borders Rocky Mountain Professional Chapter, and I volunteer on the Membership and Education committees for the Colorado chapter of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA). I enjoy cooking, fishing, and traveling both around the U.S. and internationally.Information
