“As a little girl, I never dreamed that one day I would be a Civil Designer Engineer in the Water Industry. But my passion for Mathematics, education at Eastern, and Master’s in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering has stirred up a passion inside me to help serve our world and provide clean water for communities that don’t have it.”
