Emily Melhorn - Water Conservation Specialist aka Conservation Rogue
Emily started as the Water Conservation Aide in June 2020. In this position, Emily enjoys educating the public about water conservation techniques and city resources. She has a BA in Creative Writing from Hamilton College, an MA in Sustainable Communities and MS in Applied Geospatial Sciences from Northern Arizona University. Alongside her work with the City of Flagstaff, Emily also works in sustainable gardening as a Master Gardener and plastics reduction and zero waste programs. Prior to joining the team, Emily has also worked in active transportation, the arts community, tourism, and land use planning and advocacy in Flagstaff. She thinks that a generalist or "jack of all trades" approach to conservation and sustainability is important for most efficient use of our resources. Outside of work, Emily enjoys travel, being outdoors, writing, and laughing at very bad movies.
