Lisa Hoaks and Carrie Boudreau ran an exhibit booth at the 2024 Children's Clean Water Festival. They presented an introduction to the Water Cycle with an interactive matching game along with a look at the USGS Streamer app to see where nearby rivers flow.
Lisa Hoaks
(she/her)I am the Public Affairs Specialist for the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
I started with Oregon Water Science Center in January 2017 as a field assistant. I was totally "green" to USGS and with a lot of patience from my peers was trained up as a hydrologic technician. For several years I operated 11 stream flow and water quality gages around Springfield, Oregon. I also maintained water quality gages in the Santiam basin.
Since 2022 I have been combining my passion for words and writing with science communication. I really enjoyed working with regional leadership developing content for the Northwest/Pacific Island Region's Science and Products Mapper. I look forward to continuing to help the region and Oregon Water Science Center with website content creation and outreach needs.

Looking upstream at Mckenzie River about 0.25 miles below Sahalie Falls. OWRSC has many stream gages in this area to help out EWEB cooperators.
