Get to Know Me Further
I was raised in Texas with an early appreciation of how vital water was to beat the heat and to support all the critters we would find in lakes and rivers we grew up swimming in. Water remained a central theme in my studies and career as I worked on payment for ecosystem services programs in Costa Rica and Colombia, water access and sanitation in Palestinian refugee camps and monitoring watershed health through satellites across the world.
