The Team

---

Dorothy is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) who specializes in drinking water quality. Her current aim is to use her expertise in environmental and mechanical engineering to address water poverty. She has her Master's Degree in Engineering Science (M.E.Sc.) from Western University and is currently a Ph.D. Candidate at York University. Her dissertation explores innovative solutions in Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems to address scaling and fouling. When these RO systems, which are widely used for water desalination, scale and foul, it significantly reduces their operational efficiency, affecting the amount of water produced, and the energy and cost required to operate and maintain the system. Specifically in her thesis, she observes scaling, the deposition of inorganic minerals like calcium carbonate on membrane surfaces, which can diminish system productivity by up to 90% in severe cases on RO membranes and anti-fouling coatings to mitigate these problems.

Judith brings over 10 years of experience in consulting, corporate strategy, and project management, having worked with leading firms like KPMG and RSM. Her expertise includes strategy development, revenue optimization, and operations improvement, combining analytical skills with a focus on achieving meaningful results. Judith holds degrees in International Relations from the University of Toronto and Business Technology Management from Toronto Metropolitan University, offering a unique blend of global insight and technical understanding.

At 8glasses.org, Judith focuses on expanding access to clean drinking water by leading community engagement initiatives and media outreach. She plays an essential role in building partnerships, securing resources, and increasing awareness about the global water crisis.

Judith’s dedication to sustainable development and empowering communities aligns with the mission of 8glasses.org. Her work helps drive innovative, long-lasting solutions that aim to improve lives and create a more equitable future.
