Student Spotlight
Brittany Meyers
Brittany Meyers is a Master’s student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and an intern with the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Regional Water Quality team. She began at the College of Southern Nevada and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Earth and Environmental Science with a minor in Professional Writing. She learned about NWRA in an undergraduate class, where she was offered a free student membership.
Since joining, Brittany presented her research in the student poster session at the 2026 Annual Conference and plans to return in 2027. She values NWRA as a way to connect with hydrologists and water professionals across Nevada, place her research in the context of the state’s water needs, and build a network that could lead to a job after graduation. She hopes to volunteer at future conferences, which she sees as a great way to meet people.
Her advice to fellow students: put yourself out there. Apply for scholarships, attend workshops and events, and connect early with consulting firms, mining and water utility companies, and government professionals. Thank you, Brittany, for being part of the NWRA student community!
