About

I am an Environmental Engineering student at Colorado State University with a passion for protecting water resources and developing practical solutions to environmental challenges. As a Scott Scholar and member of the University Honors Program, I enjoy applying what I learn in the classroom through hands-on research and technical problem solving. Through my undergraduate research with the SURE Program, I study PFAS fate and transport in groundwater, where I assist with laboratory experiments, data collection, and technical documentation. This experience has strengthened my laboratory, analytical, and teamwork skills while reinforcing my interest in water quality and contaminant remediation. I am eager to continue gaining research and industry experience as I work toward a career in environmental engineering focused on protecting water resources and improving environmental sustainability.
