Mimi has been involved with AWW as a volunteer monitor since 1998. She became a Water Chemistry Monitoring Trainer in 2001 and a Bacteriological Monitoring Trainer in 2017. Mimi was an Associate Professor of Geography at the University of South Alabama for many years before her retirement. She incorporated AWW into her classroom, introducing hundreds of students to the importance of water monitoring.<\/p>\n

In retirement, Mimi has ramped up her training and monitoring activity with AWW and has led a water monitoring \u201crevival\u201d for her home watershed group, the Dog River Clearwater Revival. Mimi is an excellent instructor and also serves as a great \u201ctechnical\u201d resource person for AWW. Her hard work at protecting and restoring water quality, one workshop at a time, is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n
