I am an experienced environmental professional, policy and legislation analyst, and researcher with extensive project management experience of federal, state, local, and private foundation-funded projects.
I work to research, develop, and implement policy and protection practices for drinking water and environmental resources. I build coalitions of stakeholders, partner organizations, and elected officials to advance for environmental health and policy.
My research has been published in the journals Environment Asia, Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution, and Environmental Geosciences.
