For Elise, working on mines and water quality issues is a passionate endeavor to achieve the right outcomes for clients. Improving water quality and discharges impacts directly how our resources can be extracted for the benefit of industries and communities dependent on mining. Using her extensive experience, Elise is committed to finding just the right balance between sustainable water management and efficient mine practices to successfully promote mining as a key infrastructure for today and tomorrow.
Working with water has allowed Elise to gain insights on the environmental influence of how mining is perceived by the public. By creating solutions based on modeling and surveying impacts of alternatives, she is able to work with clients and stakeholders to meet economic goals while educating the public on the safety and benefits of mining.
Elise enjoys working in the upper southwest where she can explore some spectacular landscapes, hike to remote locations, and further appreciating her work within the mining industry.
