About Ali Reed

As a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in environmental science and hands-on experience in both research and field operations, I bring a unique blend of analytical expertise and practical skills to every challenge. With a Master’s in Public Administration and a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from the University of Idaho, I’ve cultivated a passion for addressing environmental challenges through innovative solutions and collaborative leadership. During my time as a Data Analyst Intern at the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, I spearheaded data collection and analysis projects to support pollution prevention initiatives. I worked closely with stakeholders to survey businesses and schools, identifying hazardous chemical usage and educating on best practices to prevent water pollution. My work resulted in actionable insights that supported safer, more sustainable operations. Currently, I serve as an Underground Utility Installation Technician, applying my expertise in locating and mapping utility lines to ensure safe excavation and infrastructure reliability. I collaborate with the City of Boise and Veolia Water to deliver uninterrupted services to homeowners and businesses, balancing technical precision with customer-focused solutions. Beyond technical skills, I thrive in leadership roles, having managed teams of 20+ employees and trained over 40 individuals in a high-paced environment. My ability to communicate complex concepts, adapt to dynamic challenges, and maintain an unwavering commitment to excellence has been a constant throughout my career. I’m eager to contribute my skills to impactful environmental initiatives, particularly those involving site investigation, remediation, and sustainable development.
