Courtney Fung is #DrivingChangeinGov

An Environmental Quality Analyst with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Courtney Fung works on hazardous waste sites to clean them up so they are usable or at least so they present less of an exposure risk to people near them.

How did she come to do this work? What does she actually do? How did she find this job? Are there lots of young people doing this work?

Courtney’s story is part of our new video series, #DrivingChangeinGov, in which young changemakers like Courtney talk about their government service and answer questions so many have.

How do you land a role in government? What kinds of jobs are available? Can you really make change in the environment, health, education, safety, and equality by working for the government?

So come on a journey with us to look at what government service is really like.
