Until her recent retirement, she was the environmental planning manager for the Office of Sustainability and Conservation, where she worked with others to protect species diversity and open space uses for the people of Pima County. In a previous career with Pima County Flood Control District, she worked on groundwater recharge and floodplain protection and restoration. She and her husband currently pursue their research interests through Madrean Resources.
