Average
Although the class was not horrible, it appeared to be a complete waste of time. Weekly talks are fundamentally pointless; they are a waste of time, and they are only useful if you are on the verge of failing after the three main tasks. Whatever your grade is on those three tasks, that's pretty much your grade for the semester.

Truth: I am a water nerd.
I am the Director of Regulatory Affairs at the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) in Washington DC. NACWA is the national leader on legislative, regulatory, and legal advocacy across the full spectrum of clean water issues. My work with NACWA focuses mainly on helping municipalities with stormwater management, water reuse/recycling, and a variety of water quality issues. I also dabble with municipal affordability and assessing a utility's financial capacity, emerging contaminants such as PFAS, and Clean Water Act/Safe Drinking Water Act intersection issues.
I hold a Juris Doctorate and Certificate in Water Law from Vermont Law School. I am an inactive member of the New Hampshire Bar Association and am a member of the American Bar Association's Section on Energy and the Environmental Resources (SEER). While in law school, I served as the editor-in-chief of the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law (VJEL) for Volume 15.
Before law school, I followed my environmental passion and stewardship through undergrad and graduate school by earning a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree both in Zoology from the University of Oklahoma. My research focused on aquatic ecology and limnology. My graduate thesis research explored zooplankton feeding behavior and life history in the presence of a toxigenic and invasive HAB known as Prymnesium parvum (golden algae).
When I am not geeking out on science and water issues, I love exploring the natural world around me. I enjoy hiking and trail running, as well as amateur photography. I like to indulge in water coloring and painting and thoroughly love to write.
Fact: I keep thousands of Daphniid zooplankton as pet friends. They love traveling around the DMV in their mason jars, exercising morning and night by vertical migratory swimming at dawn and dusk, respectively, and of course these girls love eating lots of nutritious scenedesmus (green algae).
Experience

Controversies over water rights are fascinating. Litigation over water availability and water quality is predicted to become even more widespread as human populations surge and heightened demands pressure dwindling local and regional supplies. This online class - Introduction to Water Resources Law - will provide an understanding of the fundamental tenets of water allocation in the United States. We will also dive into the Clean Water Act and its effect on resolving complex pollution issues. #KeepCalm&StudyWaterLaw

Specifically, I helped the regulated community comply with the Clean Water Act including NPDES, stormwater permitting, as well as effluent limitations, drinking water, and groundwater regulations. I also assist facilities comply with aboveground and under ground storage tank regulations. I also hosted the podcast, EHS on Tap, that interviewed various experts in their professional capacities about trending environmental compliance issues.

Texas and New Mexico to Engage in Litigious Battle to Face the Thirsty Elephant in the Room
VJEL EcoPerspectives
Arid regions in the southwest are quickly running out of water from excessive groundwater withdrawals, reduced surface water availability, and altered climate patterns. Texas is one of many arid regions facing severe water shortages. In an effort to secure water resources, Texas has turned to suing its neighbors for water resources rather than facing the elephant in the room: its own over consumptive water use.
