As a Practice Leader Erin English co-leads Biohabitats’ visionary Integrated Water Strategies planning & engineering efforts. She applies her background in chemical and environmental engineering and her passion for water, ecology, and sustainability to help clients and communities throughout the world advance innovation in water infrastructure planning and design. Integrating process design with ecological principles and the use of natural systems to treat and reuse wastewater and stormwater, Erin crafts resilient water designs and master plans for a wide variety of project types, scales and geographies. She brings another invaluable skill to her work: the ability to listen. In both public and private sector design environments, she facilitates productive, honest discussions that bring new insight into projects involving water, ecology, and community. She is a gifted communicator whose ability to teach and inspire on topic such as Net Zero Water, Integration of Ecology & Infrastructure, Green Infrastructure, Ecological Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse has been sought by numerous national organizations and academic institutions. Prior to joining Biohabitats, Erin worked alongside visionary and pioneering biologist Dr. John Todd, the innovator of the Living Machine™ and Eco-Machine™ at the not-for-profit ecological design firm Ocean Arks International. There, she gained experience in a multidisciplinary, integrated-design environment dedicated to tackling the most daunting water-related ecological challenges in ways that yielded stacked benefits such as education, experience, and remediation.
