  As the education & outreach coordinator, it is my job to keep our community informed on important water issues and create lasting connections with our watershed so folks are inspired to take action. I plan major community-wide events including the second-largest fundraiser within our organization, a water festival for more than 300 students, a summer-long community education series, professional credit workshops and more. I oversee the RiverWatch river sampling program which takes volunteers outdoors once per month to collect state-used data on local streams and perform titration analysis for a variety of constituents. I have gained experience in stakeholder group management and coalition building, through our Deep Creek Wild & Scenic River designation process and co-leading the water working group of the Climate Action Collaborative. Currently, I am working to launch the Clean & Flowing Rivers Initiative which comprises stormwater and water efficiency education and action programming.
