Research & Consulting

Research & Consulting Experience

I developed an educational game about sewer awareness to help prevent overflows. Using the freely available Google Forms to develop a conditional logic game, as well as animations and images from a previous Public Service Announcement, I created a cost-effective resource for the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority.
