I've spent over 13 years in the architecture, engineering, and construction field, with the past year focused specifically on wastewater treatment. What drew me to utilities and water is that these are things that are going to be around no matter what happens in our country. I wanted stability, but also a new challenge that was always going to be changing and gives you places to develop and learn. Currently, I serve as outside sales on the East Coast, specifically the Southeast, for Cloacina. I handle project execution, client management, and relationship management. People call me the problem solver - when clients have issues after buying one of our plants, I'm their go-to person. I coordinate with the right engineers and field teams, troubleshoot vendor issues, and work directly with project engineers. A big part of my role is teaching people about our wastewater treatment systems and helping different counties and municipalities understand what they can do right now to prepare for the future and meet their permit limits. I work closely with my sales partner to refine our sales process, update proposals with new language, and address East Coast-specific needs like weatherizing systems for freezing temperatures, which is different from our West Coast base. I absolutely adore my team and appreciate the freedom they give me, along with how quickly I can call and ask questions - they know what talent I have and are building on it.
