Hello everyone,
My name is Anthonia Ogudipe and I am a 2019 Summer Intern at the Ipswich River Watershed Association. I am currently a Master of Science student at Tufts University studying Sustainable Water Management. Prior to this, I practiced as a commercial and regulatory lawyer for over six years in Nigeria.
My love for playing with water as a kid earned me the nickname ‘water baby’ after the children’s story by Charles Kingsley. So when I decided to change careers to a more development-related field, I was naturally attracted to a water-relevant degree program. I aim to do all I can to ensure universal access to safe water, improved sanitation and hygiene while preserving the environment.
Interning with the Ipswich River has been a very exciting opportunity to put into practice some of the knowledge I have gained in the past year especially in the area of water withdrawals and socio-economic incentives for encouraging water conservation. I am looking forward to learning more about the implementation of water banking, municipal water challenges and policy formulation from the amazing people at the Ipswich River.
