“I truly enjoy my job in the Land and Water Program. The position has a great balance of field work and office work. We have flexibility on creating our own schedules and working as a team on complex projects. We work with engineers, contractors, and several different departments within Public Works to turn a parcel of land into what you see today.”

Knowing the hundreds of individuals I've cared for in the community warms my heart! Working for Public Health has allowed me to work with wonderful staff and learn so much, and still do to this day!”
