About me

Hello! I have been working at the CAWSC in Sacramento for 10+ years. I am a newer LDM in a team of CA LDMs that we call Data Management & Support (DMS). My background is discrete water quality, and one thing that I love about my job is that I get to learn more and more about USGS water science every day.
