I can help you be successful in your public outreach and public communications for your water resources projects. I have over 30 years experience in the water resources field and most recently 10 years experience creating and managing a successful, funded, regional flood control/watershed management program in Northern California. As Program Manager I supervised all aspects of program development including public outreach via printed material and website, engineering project concept development, public communications, multi-agency coordination and supervision of engineering and environmental consultants. I prepared press releases, ghost-written communications for elected officials, legislative briefings, and hundreds of powerpoint presentations. My primary skills are public speaking, team building and leadership but I have a sound foundation in water resources ranging from piping and pump design and installation to regional water management planning. I hold a B.S. in Civil Engineering and have been trained as a meeting facilitator and team leader.
