Audrey Siu

Audrey brings experience across government, non-profit, and private industry sectors to her role as Urban Resilience Director. Her professional career began with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a regulatory specialist implementing the Clean Water, Rivers and Harbor, and National Environmental Policy Acts by working with project proponents to avoid and minimize resources in the public trust. She has also worked as an environmental consultant on projects for private development and public works, leading contamination due-diligence, environmental impact mitigation, and helping clients navigate complex regulatory environs.  Most recently, she ran the policy unit at Miami Waterkeeper, where she steered her team to hold polluters accountable and advocate for policy protections for our most precious resource, water. 

Ms. Siu translates her previous government, non-profit, and private sector experience to advocacy action. She holds that advocating for watershed-wide improvements and resilience involves an intersection of issues, including upgrading infrastructure; incorporating nature-based solutions into urban areas; creating meaningful and enforceable policy changes; and instigating broad public involvement and buy-in for resilient and equitable solutions.
