Water@UW-Madison

I was one of the inaugural graduate representatives (Fall 2017 – Spring 2018) and later served as the project assistant (Summer 2018 – Summer 2019) for Water@UW-Madison, an umbrella organization which connects water scholars at UW-Madison and conveys the scope and diversity of their work both on and off campus. In addition to event, website, and logistical support, I had the freedom to design and implement new ways for Water@UW-Madison to achieve its mission.
 
The Water@UW-Madison Story Map is one way we showcased UW-Madison water research. I revamped the design and we’re continually gathering projects to add to the growing map.

Madison Flute Club

As a member and secretary of the Madison Flute Club, I enjoyed performing regularly around town with both the larger Flute Choir and smaller Chamber Ensemble.

A highlight for me was performing at the 2017 National Flute Association Convention in Minneapolis, MN.

Book Recommendations

Beginning with water books (obviously), here are four classics I enjoy.

For even more water books, see the water reading list I developed for Water@UW-Madison.

These four books on personal effectiveness have helped me learn to stay focused, persevere through hard tasks, create helpful routines, and appreciate the importance of failing fast.

I strongly believe that communication – to both scientists and non-scientists – is just as important as the research itself.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Writing Science.

And sometimes, I just enjoy an escape to a fantasy world…
