CindyJ is an avid ecologist, environmental scientist and engineer by training. She achieved her 10-year old dream of working at the US Environmental Protection Agency and while there, engaged in amazing water protection projects and sweeping environmental policy changes. As Water Adviser at the US Embassy in Beijing, China, she tracked down stimulating water pollution stories and connected with local residents on science, citizen efforts, and the yummiest wild bamboo shoots in rainy, tropical Asia. A lazy hobbyist birder, she would get distracted by the most breathtakingly stunning katydids and beetles when collecting data in Costa Rica or carrying out sustainable farm practices in Ecuador.
