Competitive, persistent, motivated, and reliable individual with a demonstrated history of working and interning in Government, the Private Sector, Education, and Athletics. Prior to my current role, I served as an intern with the California State Assembly where I gained valuable experience developing and drafting legislation and related memos, writing speeches, and connecting with stakeholders in various capacities like agriculture, business, and education. Through my experiences, I’ve continuously sharpened skills in Public Speaking, Written and Verbal Communication, Research and Data Analysis, Conflict Management, and Customer Service, and I am always searching for ways to strengthen my knowledge and improve my performance. An initial interest in oil/gas and hydrology led me to pursue and obtain and undergraduate degree in geology, and a later understanding of these industries’ ties to government and public policy prompted me to earn a graduate degree in Public Administration. These degrees provided me indispensable knowledge that is helping me navigate through the water and natural resources realm.
