I met current colleague at a networking event for environmental professionals in Indianapolis, but also knew of the company through case studies in my Groundwater Modeling course in graduate school.

Hoping to hone my AutoCAD skills, better understand options and timelines for environmental investigations and remedial activities, and gain experience in project management.

Much of our work has a direct impact on the health and wealth of the stakeholders; it keeps me ever mindful of our reliance on natural resources.
Have you always wanted to do what you are doing now?
It has taken me a few positions to settle on a best fit for me, but I always knew that I would be in the environmental field general and specifically a in a role that would get me out in the field frequently.
What is a favorite hobby you have?
Running! It is efficient exercise for a busy person and can serves as either social or alone time for me. Hope to train for another marathon in the next year or so.
