Water Resources Graduate Program

I have worked full-time as the Water Projects Coordinator for Benton County since 2007. Prior to completing the PSM program at OSU, I worked on a range of biological consulting projects in California, Oregon, and Washington. The PSM program provided me with the ability to hone my skills and focus on water resources science, policy, and management prior to re-entering the work force. I currently work on interdepartmental efforts to assess both groundwater and surface water resources through the leveraging of grant funding from state and federal sources. I manage water quality (stormwater and TMDL) programs and wetland permitting at the county, and I have helped develop and inform the stream, wetland, and groundwater studies and policy in Benton County. I often present water and environmental planning, policy, and science to local and regional governments, non-profits, businesses, and community residents.
