"For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to water. I love how its taste varies, I love how peaceful a body of water can be, and of course I appreciate it's immense benefits to life on Earth. I think I started to consider water as a career when I was in high school and started learning more about sustainability and water supply. When I began pursuing this career option in college, I learned of the many impacts water quality also has on public health. It is difficult to attribute my motivation to any one of those things, but I am certainly inspired by the profession and passionate about contributing to it."
