Career Aspirations
I seek to leverage the regulatory framework of the Clean Water Act to protect lakes, rivers, and other waters more effectively. I am particularly interested in the role that market-based mechanisms, including water quality trading, can play in achieving this goal.
Why Booth?
As a scientist, my worldview has been shaped by the scientific method, wherein one develops and tests hypotheses by collecting and analyzing data. Booth’s focus on curiosity and rigorous analysis as key elements for developing important insights and creative solutions resonates deeply with me because it mirrors a perspective and methodology that has become second nature to me.
