Public Affairs Coordinator
I talk about water: what's going on with it, where it comes from, and how to provide a clean supply.
The great thing about public affairs is that every day is a little bit different. One day I could be writing a press release or conducting / coordinating tours of our facilities. The main part of my job is to talk about water; what's going on with it, where it comes from, the difficulties of providing a clean and stable supply, etc. I write social media articles, news articles, research and write reports.
