It was during this time that Wendy developed an interest in effectively communicating math and science to diverse groups. Today, she uses her position as an engineer to support outreach and education programs that explain how the work of the Sanitation Districts identifies community needs then applies engineering and scientific principles to meet them.

Wendy is an award-winning transformative leader anchored in integration, innovation, and inclusion.

Wendy's journey started on a farm in Pennsylvania. Her father is a Navy veteran and, her mother is a retired school teacher. Wendy's mentor Debra Reinhart, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE, encouraged her to join the Academy. Wendy joined in 1997 and discovered a network of peers to help meet the challenges of our field.
