About

I have my B.S. in Environmental Science and Technology and have been working in the environmental compliance industry for the last 8 years. The focus of my work thus far has revolved around water quality regulations. My passion for protecting the environment stems from my love of the outdoors. When I am not working to improve water quality in my community, I am spending time with my family. Hiking, camping, and fishing is how we spend much of our summers.
I recently started working on my M.S. in Hydrology and Water Resource Management through University of Oklahoma.
