“I am passionate about the field of environmental science and engineering because we are discovering new challenges, environmental risks, and corresponding ideas to address those challenges and risks at an incredibly rapid pace. Major environmental regulations were only developed about 50 years ago. Our community is creative, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about problem-solving to do better for our natural world and communities.”
