Angelica Diaz, Landscape Designer

Angelica is a recent graduate of Temple University, where she obtained her Master Degree in landscape architecture with a focus on ecological restoration. She received the 2023 American Society of Landscape Architects Merit Award for her academic work, which culminated in a graduate thesis that explored and integrated creative solutions to flood  resilience in New Castle, Delaware. This work unlocked a desire to discover the unique ways in which landscape architecture can be realized through the lens of ecology and sustainability.

Before joining Princeton Hydro, Angelica was employed at a small-scale landscape architecture firm focusing on public and residential design. She had the opportunity to use her previous experience in invasive management to help ensure longevity by developing long-term maintenance manuals for clients. Through this work, she also gained invaluable experience in design development, preparation of proposals and construction documentation packages, and client communication.

In her free time, Angelica loves to paint, read, bake bread, and maintain her tiny Philadelphia backyard.


Lexie Seifert, Staff Engineer

Lexie received a B.S. in Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Air Quality from Rutgers University. During her studies, she was part of the Rutgers Water Resources Program where she helped design and construct rain gardens to address flooding and stormwater runoff impacts. After graduation, Lexie began her professional career in the wastewater engineering sector designing decentralized wastewater treatment plants.

During her free time, Lexie enjoys hiking, exercising, and being outside. When the weather is bad, she likes making rugs and trying out new recipes.


Our staff is composed of individuals with academic training and extensive project experience in stormwater management, geotechnical investigation, hydrology and hydrogeology, aquatic and wetland ecology, fishery biology, population and community ecology dynamics, GIS, environmental design, and landscape architecture.

Spring is here! We kicked-off the new growing year with a live "Ask Me Anything" Spring Gardening conversation via Facebook.

Princeton Hydro Landscape Architects and Expert Green Thumbs Jamie Feinstein, RLA and Cory Speroff, PLA, ASLA, CBLP provided participants with all sorts of gardening tips and tricks, including:

  • How to properly plan out your garden space
  • Choosing native plants that complement each other
  • Starting seedlings
  • Preparing your outdoor beds
  • Native edible plants to consider
  • Transplanting from pot to garden

Our Communications Intern Andrea Rojas led the Q&A conversation, and Jamie and Cory fielded a variety of questions from the audience, including some about soil testing, installing a rain garden, choosing the best mulch, and general tips for using compost. 

If you missed it, have no fear - we recorded the session. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for gardening!

Princeton Hydro is proud to announce that Cory Speroff, PLA, ASLA, CBLP, Landscape Architect for the firm, has become a Licensed Professional Landscape Architect in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, enabling our firm to now offer professional landscape architect services in those states. 

This achievement demonstrates an advanced level of skill and competency in providing landscape architecture services that protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public and natural environment as well as in-depth knowledge of stormwater best management practices, green infrastructure, and sustainable planning and design.

Cory participating in a volunteer planting event on Arbor Day 2019 in Exton Park

In order to apply for a landscape architect license in the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, applicants are required to: 

  • Possess a degree in Landscape Architecture - Cory obtained his Master of Landscape Architecture (MLArch) focused in landscape restoration from Temple University School of Environmental Design;
  • Have four years of work experience - Cory joined the Princeton Hydro team in 2015;
  • Establish a Council Record with the Council of Landscape Architect Registration Board (CLARB);
  • Pass all four sections of the rigorous Landscape Architect Registration Exam (LARE) - the sections are Project and Construction Management, Inventory and Analysis, Design, and Grading, Drainage, and Construction Documentation; and
  • Apply to become licensed in each state

“The process to become a Professional Landscape Architect is not an easy one. I spent a lot of late nights studying technical manuals covering everything from the most obscure contents of construction contracts to the components and design of irrigation systems. Achieving this license and being able to offer this service to current and future clients has been a goal of mine since graduating. With this license, Princeton Hydro can now bring our wide range of expertise into an entirely new sector and I am very excited about our prospects.”

Cory Speroff, PLA, ASLA, CBLP

As a Landscape Architect for Princeton Hydro, Cory is responsible for the creation of designs, renderings, graphics, planting lists, planting plans, and construction documents associated with various aspects of environmental restoration, habitat creation, and stormwater management. Working closely with the firm’s senior management team, Cory develops creative design solutions that achieve the most socioeconomic value from a space while also achieving high environmental function.

Examples of Cory's Work:


Dunes at Shoal Harbor Shoreline Restoration & Protection

For the Dunes at Shoal Harbor, a coastal residential community in Monmouth County, New Jersey severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy, Princeton Hydro was contracted to provide site design and construction for shoreline restoration, erosion prevention and protection from future storm events, wave attacks and flooding

Cory worked on the project team to provide site design plans for the following initiatives: 

  • The installation of a 15-foot rock revetment (one foot above the 100-year floodplain elevation) constructed with four-foot diameter boulders;
  • The replacement of a failed elevated timber walkway with a concrete slab-on-grade walkway, restoring portions of the existing bulkhead, clearing invasive plants, and the complete restoration of the failed stormwater basin and outlet; and
  • The development of natural barriers to reduce the impacts of storm surges and protect the coastal community, including planting stabilizing coastal vegetation to prevent erosion and installing fencing along the dune to facilitate natural dune growth.

The construction was completed in September 2020. 


Ocean County Park Living Shoreline

Princeton Hydro worked closely with the American Littoral Society (ALS) to acquire SFY2014 319(h) funding to implement green infrastructure and Non‐Point Source (NPS) Pollution Control Projects within the Metedeconk River Watershed. 

One of the projects entailed the removal of two sections of deteriorating bulkhead from Ocean County Park’s Duck Pond and replacing them with living shorelines, which were designed by Cory. The focus of the project was two‐fold: reduce the NPS loading that compromises the Metedeconk River’s water quality, as well as restoring littoral habitat within the Ocean County Park waterbodies.

The Duck Pond living shorelines contain a variety of native plants that filter rainwater runoff, create and improve habitat for aquatic animals, improve water quality, and protect the shoreline from erosion.

All of us here at Princeton Hydro extend our warmest congratulations to Cory for his remarkable achievements!

The achievement of the CBLP Level 1 designation demonstrates an advanced level of professionalism and knowledge of sustainable landscaping practices for a healthier Chesapeake Bay and beyond. In order to qualify for the certification, candidates must pass a comprehensive exam that assesses an individual’s understanding of sustainable practices in the design, installation, and maintenance of landscapes. Achieving the CBLP designation illustrates an in-depth knowledge of sustainable landscape best practices and stormwater best management practices. “Completing the CBLP certification program was a valuable experience,” said Cory Speroff. “Growing up, I spent a lot of time on the Chesapeake Bay, and even more time in its expansive watershed. It’s very fulfilling to know that I can take the knowledge I’ve learned back to Princeton Hydro and not only make positive impacts for our clients, but also impact the health of a system that so many people use for work and recreation.” In order to earn the CBLP certification, participants must earn and report 20 continuing education units (CEUs) every two years in the areas of sustainable landscape and stormwater design, installation and maintenance topics; climate change issues; native plants and native plant communities; ecological plant design; or other related subject matters. In addition, newly-certified CBLPs must complete and document at least 6 hours of hands-on practice. As a landscape designer for Princeton Hydro, Cory is responsible for the creation of designs, renderings, graphics, planting lists, planting plans, and construction documents associated with various aspects of environmental restoration and stormwater management. Cory is a Temple University’s Master of Landscape Architecture Program graduate. The program gave him unique exposure to a traditional landscape architecture education infused with ecological restoration, a combination that facilitated the exploration of how to achieve the most socioeconomic value from a space while also achieving high environmental function, which leads to informed and creative design solutions.

Angelica is a recent graduate of Temple University, where she obtained her Master Degree in landscape architecture with a focus on ecological restoration. She received the 2023 American Society of Landscape Architects Merit Award for her academic work, which culminated in a graduate thesis that explored and integrated creative solutions to flood  resilience in New Castle, Delaware. This work unlocked a desire to discover the unique ways in which landscape architecture can be realized through the lens of ecology and sustainability.

Before joining Princeton Hydro, Angelica was employed at a small-scale landscape architecture firm focusing on public and residential design. She had the opportunity to use her previous experience in invasive management to help ensure longevity by developing long-term maintenance manuals for clients. Through this work, she also gained invaluable experience in design development, preparation of proposals and construction documentation packages, and client communication.

In her free time, Angelica loves to paint, read, bake bread, and maintain her tiny Philadelphia backyard.


Lexie Seifert, Staff Engineer

Lexie received a B.S. in Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Air Quality from Rutgers University. During her studies, she was part of the Rutgers Water Resources Program where she helped design and construct rain gardens to address flooding and stormwater runoff impacts. After graduation, Lexie began her professional career in the wastewater engineering sector designing decentralized wastewater treatment plants.

During her free time, Lexie enjoys hiking, exercising, and being outside. When the weather is bad, she likes making rugs and trying out new recipes.
