 abstract: Becky started her USGS career in 2012 at the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana WSC
   as a physical scientist working on projects ranging from air quality monitoring
   at a combined disposal facility in East Chicago, Indiana, to groundwater-level
   monitoring for a network of wells in Carmel, Indiana. In 2016, she began work
   as a hydrologist at the New Mexico WSC where she has focused her efforts on studying
   anthropogenic contamination and studies in the designated Urban Waters area of
   Albuquerque, NM. These studies have involved innovative passive sampling of groundwater
   and surface water, sampling of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, and analysis
   of geochemical and age dating tracers for groundwater. Prior to working for the
   USGS, she spent 11 years working on source water protection and remediation projects
   for Indiana Department of Environmental Management. She has a M.S. in Geological
   Sciences from Indiana University - Bloomington.
