Max Trujillo

Max Trujillo joined Washington Water Trust in the fall of 2024 after growing his career in the American Southwest. Growing up on the southeast slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico, he learned early on about the importance of natural resource conservation and environmental stewardship in the diverse ecosystems of western watersheds. Max further grew his passion and knowledge of environmental science at the University of New Mexico, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a master’s degree in Water Resources and Community & Regional Planning.

Prior to joining WWT, Max worked at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a Hydrologist for the National Wildlife Refuge System. At WWT, Max is applying his working knowledge of water resources to the watersheds of Washington. In his spare time, Max enjoys backpacking, sports, live music, trying new local eateries, and exploring the many outdoor opportunities that Washington offers.
