I worked for the City of Long Branch as a watershed coordinator after my AmeriCorps term of service ended. The City wrote for a 319h grant to the NJDEP to fund my position for one year to continue the work I had started during my AmeriCorps service year. The City was successful in receiving the grant. I continued educating the public about water quality, watershed and engage citizens in community programs around envrionmental issues related to non-point source pollution.

Served a one year term of service with the AmeriCorps program, the domestic peace corps, with the NJ Community Water Watch program supported by NJPIRG. I worked with Clean Ocean Action on Sandy Hook, and the City of Long Branch educating the public and students in the elementary schools about water quality, watersheds. I coordinated and worked with community groups for clean ups and stream monitoring. It was an amazing experience that launched me into my career in the environmental field.
