Bio
Josefina T.
Few people have had the opportunity to report to a Director who is also a coach and a mentor as I did when I worked for Tish Berge. I had the pleasure of working under Tish for 4 years at Rincon del Diablo, MWD. Tish is the type of manager that provides guidance when needed, while letting employees take their own direction with projects. For example, while working for Tish as a Business Systems Accountant, I was given direction, guidance and training on Director level projects. Upon her departure from Rincon del Diablo MWD, I was the person chosen to fill in the Director role. This would not have happened if not for her ability to step back to coach and mentor those around her. If you are lucky enough to work for her, you will learn and grow in your career. As a leader, Tish Berge, earns my highest recommendation.

Tish Berg is a very accomplished member of the California water community. She is both technically adept and an inspiring manager. I look forward to her success at Sweetwater and wish her the very best. David Drake
