"I am a city slicker with a farmer's soul, always connecting to local ag wherever I go.
I started my career in the agricultural world fresh out of college and learned the impact water has on all rural and urban farms. During my time in the Midwest, I facilitated workdays for various urban farms to provide food to communities in need. I'm proud to be working with a team dedicated to water issues. "
