Citlali Ramirez

Growing up in the Sonoran Desert, I developed a reverence for water’s role in shaping the landscape and life itself. As a water planning engineer, I help design sustainable systems for communities, particularly those most impacted by climate change. My work in stormwater infrastructure and watershed management connects my understanding of the land I grew up on with a vision for more resilient, equitable water solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy working with my hands through sewing, cooking, art, and rock climbing.
