She’s also actively involved in the industry (as a member of the young professionals and communications committees at the Western Pennsylvania Water Pollution Control Association) and an avid supporter of her community (contributing time and money to numerous conservation groups).

We are lucky to have her on our team and so happy to see her being recognized alongside such talented, accomplished professionals on this list.
