Rachel Hobbs

I am the Water Data Program Manager for the New Mexico Water Data Initiative. I work with the Bureau's internal implementation team, and coordinate with external agencies to assess program goals. Previously, I worked as an environmental geologist specializing in groundwater contamination sites in New Mexico regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). I am a professional geologist licensed in the state of Tennessee.
