Ben R. Email & Phone Number

Since summer 2022, I have proudly served as Watershed Manager with the Reston Association in Reston, VA. I started with Reston Association as their Watershed Specialist after graduating from George Mason University in 2020. In my time at Reston, I’ve worked to strengthen community involvement in the monitoring and protection of Reston’s watersheds— particularly those of Reston’s four lakes. Reston Association has afforded me the opportunity to learn and grow as a natural resource manager— joining the Virginia Lakes and Watershed Association and North American Lake Management Society. I’m excited to continue working with the community on managing Reston’s water resources and protecting our corner of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.George Mason’s Environmental Studies and Honors College programs did an amazing job preparing me for my career— even if I did not necessarily know where I would land when I graduated. I have them to thank for some of the awards I earned while I was a student— those include an Honorable Mention for the Udall Undergraduate Scholarship, Phi Beta Kappa junior induction, and GMU University Scholars program (top <1% of incoming freshman).

Listed skills include Supply Chain Management, Materials Management, Inventory Control, Supply Chain, and 20 others.
