What they say
I had this large schism between my professional and personal relationship with water over the last few years. I was either approaching water treatment from a theoretical and laboratory perspective or enjoying my time at the beach or in lakes. This was the first meaningful experience where I felt like I could both enjoy and appreciate the water for its essence while also working towards providing solutions to water challenges.
