I am a Watershed and Source Water Coordinator with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. For the last 10 years, my primary focus has been on helping to address local water quality issues in the Cedar Falls, Iowa area through the Dry Run Creek Watershed Improvement Project. This includes working with residents, businesses, farmers, educators, municipal staff, and a wide range of local partnerships to implement urban and rural conservation tackling pollution stormwater runoff, improving stream health through habitat improvements, and reducing sedimentation from soil erosion. This project also utilizes a multifaceted approach to outreach to educate and foster engagement.
I am a University of Northern Iowa alumnus with a bachelor’s degree in Earth Science.
