“Knowing that my efforts help ensure safe drinking water for millions of people motivates me every day,” says Lead in Drinking Water Technical Leader Davida Judelson. “I’m inspired by the tangible impact that environmental health work has on communities.”

Davida joins the CDM Smith Lead in Drinking Water task force with over a decade of experience at one of the nation’s largest public health departments. At the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Davida was a key leader responsible for managing drinking water regulatory and enforcement programs, coordinating interagency collaboration, contributing to water quality analysis and reports, and conducting field investigations to ensure compliance with state and federal drinking water standards.

“I was drawn to CDM Smith’s reputation for technical excellence and its mission-driven approach to collaboratively solving complex infrastructure challenges,” Davida says. “The opportunity to work with multidisciplinary teams on projects across the nation to address lead in drinking water is both exciting and deeply meaningful to me.”
