In this episode of Making Waves with FWEA, we follow the remarkable journey of Adriell Shrikissoon, 2024/2025 Chair of the FWEA West Coast Chapter. From his roots in Trinidad and Tobago to his professional adventures in American Samoa and New Zealand, Adriel shares how his global experiences shaped his approach to water and wastewater engineering. He reflects on the importance of mentorship, personal growth, and authenticity in leadership—and how these values drive his community work through FWEA initiatives like the Women of Water event. Adriel also offers a glimpse into what’s next for the chapter, including new networking ideas and a possible Bucks game tailgate. His story is a powerful reminder that technical excellence and human connection go hand in hand in the world of water.
