Brea Arvidson
Director of Programs
Brea joined NH LAKES in 2023 as an aquatic biologist, now with over a decade of experience in water resource monitoring and management. She designs and implements lake monitoring and management programs, fosters community engagement, and helps develop practical, science-based solutions to protect New Hampshire’s lakes and ponds.
With a B.S. in Marine, Estuarine, and Freshwater Biology from the University of New Hampshire, Brea brings a relevant academic foundation complemented by her professional experience across the Northeastern US. Her work has spanned water quality monitoring, invasive species management, and lake-friendly land-use practices. Her background bridges technical expertise with on-the-ground collaboration, complemented by a lifelong connection to New Hampshire’s lakes and ponds and a deep commitment to NH LAKES’s mission.
In her free time, she explores new places with her two German shorthaired pointers, enjoys quiet flatwater kayaking, and plays in various musical groups.
