Current Studies and Future Goals

When asked what she found most meaningful about her field of study, Meredith responded with the following: “Water is critical to our existence in a myriad of ways--just as its uses are complex, so are its management strategies. I see the nexus between water resources management, policy/planning, and consumer society as a connection that demands further exploration and re-imagining, and I hope to find my role there”.

When asked what interested her in pursuing the WSSS Graduate Certificate, Meredith responded with the following: ” The interdisciplinary nature of WSSS caught my attention, as I am passionate about bridging the connections between the science and the human dimensions of water resource management”.

Meredith hopes to practice environmental planning at the regional level and/or pursue environmental data analytics in New England once she completes her studies at Tufts.
