And, we’re thrilled to introduce five enthusiastic interns, each with a unique blend of academic and professional interests.
We eagerly anticipate the innovative ideas and fresh perspectives of our new team members, and look forward to achieving great things together.
Let’s meet them!
Alexandra brings a diverse professional background to Princeton Hydro, honing organizational, time management, and problem-solving skills from various roles, including as a receptionist and student office assistant. With a foundation in Early Childhood education and seven years of teaching Middle and High School English Language Arts, she’s adept at interpersonal communication and fostering a supportive environment.
Alexandra also spent eight years supervising and managing doggie daycare and boarding facilities in New York and New Jersey, showcasing her customer service and organizational prowess. Now, Alexandra is eager to leverage her skills as an Administrative Office Assistant for our team!
In her spare time, Alexandra indulges her passion for professional wrestling, comic cons, and concerts, with the ultimate goal of seeing Beyoncé live again when she tours.
Eric is deeply passionate about the outdoors. Living in Alaska has given him extensive hands-on experience with nature in all its forms. He has held various positions, including small engine mechanic, project manager, and U.S. Army service member. Having previously worked with Princeton Hydro’s Aquatics Team in 2019 as an Aquatics Specialist, Eric is excited to return. He looks forward to contributing his extensive expertise to the field operations team and making a positive impact on a variety of projects.
Eric’s love for the outdoors is evident in his diverse activities, which include hiking in the backcountry, mountaineering, rock, mineral, and fossil collecting, camping (both primitive and modern), boating, fishing, trail-building, and educating future leaders on the importance of preserving nature for all to enjoy.
Francisco is currently pursuing a Master of Art and Architecture in Landscape Architecture at Temple University, where he also completed a Bachelor of Science in Geoenvironmental Science. His undergraduate studies ignited a profound interest in sustainability, community engagement, map making, and botany. Throughout his academic career, Francisco has broadened his understanding of plants, soil, and ecosystems, and has refined his artistic abilities, both manually and through various software tools.
As an intern at Princeton Hydro, Francisco is keen to collaborate across multiple departments, gain practical field experience, and receive guidance from seasoned landscape architects. His acute awareness of urgent environmental issues drives his commitment to further education and his advocacy for a more sustainable and socially equitable world.
In his leisure time, Francisco is a regular at the gym and enjoys sketching trees on his hikes. Recently, he climbed Santa Maria in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.

She is enthusiastic about leveraging her creativity to gain insights into the dynamics of the Princeton Hydro Marketing and Communications team.
In her free time, Jade enjoys sewing, cooking, and discovering new ways to express her artistic vision.
Daniel is currently a student at Temple University majoring in Civil Engineering and will enter his third year of studies in Fall 2024. With an expected graduation date of May 2026, Daniel will utilize the knowledge and experience gained during his time at Princeton Hydro to his future endeavors both while at Temple and post-graduation. Ultimately, he hopes to pursue a career in civil engineering with a focus on the ecological resources.
During his internship, he will be applying his engineering background to work in both the field and the office. The bulk of his internship will be focused within the Ecological Engineering group, for which he’ll provide general engineering support. Potential project work includes construction oversight of ecological restoration projects, as well as support for current dam removal projects led by Princeton Hydro. Throughout his time as an intern, Daniel will work closely with licensed professional engineers and environmental scientists to see firsthand the project management process and technical skills required for successful project implementation and completion.
Kaitlyn graduated from Delaware Valley University in 2024 with a B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Botany. Prior to joining Princeton Hydro as an intern for the Aquatics Team, she interned with the Valley Forge Watershed Association, where she conducted research on water quality.
