Phoebe Suina is Founder and Owner of High Water Mark, LLC. High Water Mark is a 100% Native American, woman-owned environmental consulting company that works with New Mexico communities, Tribes and Pueblos on a variety of issues and initiatives including environmental policy, land acquisition, planning, infrastructure, and how governmental (federal, state and local) policies, laws and priorities affect Tribal communities.

Suina has more than 20 years of experience providing technical, regulatory and project management expertise to construct and implement utility projects, hazard mitigation projects, environmental remediation initiatives and emergency and disaster recovery projects.

She works to address infrastructure projects and initiatives by utilizing a consensus-based approach that incorporates traditional and local knowledge with science-based planning, engineering and project management solutions. Her traditional Pueblo background is complemented by formal training in environmental engineering and project management.

Suina received a Master of Engineering Management from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree in environmental engineering from Dartmouth College. With this background of “tradition plus science,” she has successfully managed multimillion dollar infrastructure projects and initiatives for Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pueblo communities and New Mexico cities and towns.
