Padmini Persaud

I got my bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida in Environmental Engineering and my Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in Civil and Environmental Engineering. I have always been involved with environmental work whether that be through activism or professional practice. Professionally, I have worked in water and wastewater treatment, stormwater management, sustainability, and have a history with life cycle assessment work as well. My area of expertise is now sustainable development and environmental resilience. I am passionate about doing good things for the world. I take great pride in my work because I know my actions and efforts are focused on positive impacts and change.
