About

I am a scientist passionate about the connection between the environment and human health with a focus on groundwater, the world’s largest freshwater resource. Groundwater supports humans, ecosystems, and underpins the economy. I aim to accelerate global progress towards achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals by improving watershed stewardship and access to open water quality data for reporting.

​

With over 10 years of experience in the public and private sectors in managing environmental monitoring and research programs, I have:
• secured >$6M in funding as principal investigator and >$1M as co-principal investigator, 
• published 7 peer-reviewed journal articles with >195 citations, 
• supervised >10 students for success, and 
• led multi-stakeholder and rightsholder technical committees to improve scientific integrity, inclusivity, and coordination of environmental monitoring. 

​

I am devoted to increasing diversity in science through mentorship, leadership, and education, with a focus on the retention of women in science. I co-founded Women in Science and Environment, founded the Groundwater Monitoring Working Group, and co-led the development of a Women in Leadership Mentorship Program.
