Julienne Bautista recently graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering. She previously earned a Master’s in Community and Regional Planning from The University of Texas in Austin.  Both of those educational experiences gave her the technical and community-based skills to pursue her passion for water – specifically, the protection of watershed areas for the promotion and development of healthy water systems across both urban and rural communities.  Since graduating from Stanford in June, Julienne has worked as a freelance contractor on a World Bank Project based in Mozambique.  Her previous projects, both as a student and a professional – have spanned from infrastructure planning in Brazil, to waste management in Austin and water consumption in Mozambique.  She has also worked to develop private-public partnerships around the creation of a zero-waste master plan in the city of Austin; imagined renewed urban areas of Denver and Dallas as a part of Urban Land Institute Hines competition; and organized a women’s surfing group in the Bay Area with over 200 members.  Julienne is a community planner with a vast technical toolkit – an engineer with community outreach and interpersonal skills.
