About the Author

     Hi! My name is Corinne Baroni, and I recently graduated with my Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering from The University of Alabama. I am passionate about environmental justice and expanding safe water access to all communities, and I have been involved in water quality research at UA for over three years. 

    This summer, I am exploring the Waters of Western Europe on my Great Ideas Tour through the UA John F. Ramsey Premier Award! This blog is to document and share my experiences and reflections. 

    When I return, I will be staying at UA for one more year to complete my Master's in Environmental Engineering through the Accelerated Master's Program as a Graduate Council Fellow. 

    You can learn a little more about my passions and the Ramsey Award in this 2-minute video.
