Greetings fellow San Francisco Bay Section members! Thank you for participating in our call for Board of Director nominees. We would like you to vote for the position. A picture and biography of our candidate is below. This year we had one submission for Secretary. On the voting form, there will be two options. One to vote for a listed candidate and another space for a write-in candidate (should you write in, please respond to the email you receive with your candidate of choice).

Candidate’s Statement:

It is my privilege to be seeking candidacy as a new member for CWEA San Francisco Bay Section (SFBS) Board of Directors starting in 2023. Since 2017, I have been actively participating as volunteer, moderator and presenter for various SFBS events and CWEA annual conferences. I have also recently served as the Vice Chair (2020 to 2021) and Chair (2021 to 2022) of the SFBS Professional Development Committee (PDC). I am licensed Civil Engineer in California with 21+ years of experience in environmental engineering in the areas of wastewater, reuse and water treatment. Throughout my career, my increasing responsibilities starting as staff and project engineers to design management, project/business development and staff resources integration and management afford me the opportunity to be uniquely qualified to support CWEA’s mission to “empowering, educating and connecting water professionals to protect public health and the environment” and to further the mission of the organization specifically in expanding its role to bridge the gap that exists between the water and wastewater professionals. I believe I share CWEA’s vision and have the skills to make a contribution as a member on the SFBS of directors and represent those interests at local and regional level.
