Water Experience

I am a 3rd year PhD student, currently working in glacier water quality and microbiome. I also work on identification of potential threats to water in remote Alaskan communities. In the past I have worked in wastewater quality management in India for a national lab. I have 8 years of experience in testing and managing water quality. Being a woman of colour, I take a lot of pride in working on water quality and related issues. Once I graduate I aspire to work for the USEPA or Texas water quality board.
