Ashley Edwards

As the Energy Efficiency Specialist at NCRWA, my career path has been anything but traditional. I earned a degree in Surgical Assisting with an extensive science background, but these days I help water and wastewater systems improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and make smarter energy decisions. I'm certified through the IEP, the Energy Audit Institute, and hold a Utilities Management Certification.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me hiking, working around my homestead, or chasing my next adventure. I spent over a decade racing motocross, I'm a two-time state regional chess champion, I've completed ground school, and I'm an aspiring falconer. I guess you could say I'm drawn to hobbies that involve speed, strategy, or leaving the ground.

Whether I'm solving challenges in the field or learning a new skill, I believe the best solutions come from staying curious, asking good questions, and never being afraid to take a different approach.
