IntroductionErin is currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree at the University of Delaware. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Resource Management with minors in Political Science and Resource Economics from the University of Delaware in 2009.
While pursuing her undergraduate degree, Erin was introduced to the research process during her internship with the Delaware Water Resources Center. She undertook a research project with her academic advisor that involved researching the Delaware Coastal Zone Act’s Impact on Water Quality. The research project introduced her to environmental policy concerning water resources and gave her invaluable experience with the research process.
While working as a Research Assistant with the Institute for Public Administration, Erin hopes to pursue her research interests in environmental policy with an emphasis on water resources. Local watersheds will be a main area of research, and she will become familiar with issues surrounding the watersheds.
