Meet our Summer Fellows

Amy Shen is joining MyRWA this summer as a Climate Resilience Fellow. This past spring, she completed her undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering from Cornell University. During her time there, she also served as a captain of the Women’s Gymnastics team, group dialogue facilitator, and backpacking trip leader. She is eager to continue exploring the intersectional nature of climate, equity, and design as well as working to build a more resilient environment that supports both people and planet through planning and engineering. Amy lives in Newton, and enjoys listening to podcasts, exploring the outdoors (whether paddling, biking, or climbing), and keeping in touch with friends.

Hello! My name is Eden Alemayehu and I'm a rising junior at the University of Massachusetts Boston. I'm majoring in Environmental Studies and Sustainability and have joined MyRWA as a 2021 Environmental Science and Stewardship Intern working on water quality as well as the removal of invasive species throughout the Mystic River Watershed. The environment is something I have always been passionate about and I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with MyRWA to help protect and preserve my community. Outside of school, some of my interests include listening to music, cooking, and spending time with friends. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge in the environmental field this summer as well as all the opportunities it has to offer!

Hi, my name is Krystian Gombosi and I am a 2021 Tisch Summer Fellow with the Mystic River Watershed Association. I am studying Environmental Engineering with a minor in geology at Tufts University. I’m interested in addressing environmental pollutants to improve public and ecological health, and I’m very excited to be joining the MyWRA team. Outside of the workplace I enjoy biking and running along the Mystic River, and skiing when the snow flies. When I’m not outside, you can find me baking bread or watering my growing houseplant collection.
