Mentors: Toby Minear and Michael John Willis, CIRES Earth Science & Observation Center

Bio: Marie came to Colorado as a child from Hong Kong. She is currently working on an associates of science degree at Red Rocks Community College. She intends to pursue a bachelors degree in civil engineering and a masters degree in hydrology. Besides being in the RECCS program, Marie is also a LSAMP Scholar. She also works for the Inclusion and Diversity department at Red Rocks. When she’s not busy chasing around her son Lawrence or her dog Gronk, she’s spending time with her husband Matt. Marie is inspired by her son to pursue knowledge in waterway restoration and water resources management, so that Lawrence can enjoy Bear Creek for years to come.

Marie is excited to be a part of the RECCS program to get her first field experience and to learn new technologies as well as building new friendships with her fellow interns.
