I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Environmental Science at UA. I completed dual undergraduate degrees in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Chemical Engineering and have combined the two in my graduate studies by evaluating microbial water quality of wastewater intended for reuse. I hope to help provide solutions to the increasing water demands in the Southwestern US, and globally, without compromising environmental or human health.
