My name is Rio Petroff. I moved to Austin recently from Seattle, WA. I am a native to Seattle and used to call myself a unicorn because there were many transplants living in Seattle but now, I am one.
I got my start working in medical billing and alternative health care. I moved to South Seattle; and got the opportunity to open a YMCA two blocks from my home. I had such a wonderful time working with the community throughout the building process, hiring staff, and teaching exercise classes. When I go visit, I cherish the memories I have made and look forward to children growing up with a YMCA in their neighborhood just as I did as a child.
After my family grew, I took a position with the City of Kent working as the Supervisor in Customer Service. I learned so many new skills such as billing utilities, business licensing, and city taxes. I'm happy to be able to join Austin Water as the Taps Manager. It is a thrill to be learning about the build and development side of water.
When I am not working, I am usually spending time at the gym, cooking with my family, or attending a live music concert. Austin has a great music, and food scene I can’t wait to explore.
