Environmentalist and Advocate

"Environmental engineering and equity are intrinsically linked.

What I do

As an environmental engineer and scientist, my focus is on various aspects of water and equity.

I am committed to making a positive impact on the world around us by working with communities and engaging in interdisciplinary research.

My interdisciplinary research centers on the microbiological impacts of water reuse, the anthropological implications of water reuse, community engaged research for infrastructure justice, engineering education, and diversity and belonging initiatives.

I am dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion, and belonging in engineering.

Through my work, I aim to ensure that our water resources are used in a sustainable and responsible manner.
