Summary

I am a third year Engineering student with a big interest in water management and fluid dynamics. I have always been around water, whether it be boating, fishing, or lifeguarding. I believe this gives me a good background as I understand water projects from an Engineering point of view, as well as understanding the environmental and safety side of things. I am particularly interested in managing reservoirs and storm water.
