Chelsey Fattal Sooriyarachchi

“Although working at the EPA has been a great stepping stone [and air is an interesting fluid], I’d like to re-enter the realm of hydrological science and management in the near future, as I did during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame. More specifically, my next trajectory is to get a Ph.D. in oceanography and water conservation, and then seek a career with the United Nations-Water organization.”
