In different lives, she has worked in local government, corporate marketing, and even taught math in Rwanda. She received her MPA and B.Sc in business at NYU, and a Masters in Integrated Water Management from the University of Queensland as an International WaterCentre Scholar.

In this class, we will learn what exactly is plumbing - it's a larger field than you might think! We will also explore the long history of plumbing and the days of the plumbing boom in the US.
