Bio

I am an environmental scientist focused on water reuse research and a passion for helping others understand the importance of water for every aspect of life, including food production. My background is in research planning and project management with expertise in water resources, including water reuse, agricultural water reuse, desalination, wastewater treatment, and public outreach.

I've worked in water industry for over seven years and I am currently serving as the Strategic Director of Research and Engagement at The Water Tower, the new global innovation hub in Gwinnett. Born out of Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, The Water Tower is where water innovators engage in applied research, workforce development, technology innovation, and community engagement to help water and wastewater utilities become more progressive.
