Monitoring changes to overall plant community structure in Lake Ontario coastal wetlands, particularly looking at wet meadow species. Carrying out field vegetation surveys in 16 wetlands which requires identifying all plant species from upland, wet meadow, emergent, and SAV zones. Using a Trimble RTK to record elevation and GPS information. Managing data.

Rochester, New York, United States

Assisted with wetland delineation surveys for proposed solar and wind projects using ESRI Field Maps. Surveyed areas included agricultural land, forested wetlands, emergent meadows, and streams.

Keene Valley, New York, United States

Assisted the Terrestrial Project Coordinator with preparing for the summer field season by contacting 50+ landowners to obtain site access permissions. Deployed and monitored 5 traps for emerald ash borer and 5 traps for bark beetles. Trained other seasonal staff in invasive plant identification. Assisted with campground and trailhead invasive plant survey.

Lake Placid, New York, United States

Managed daily store operations while leading a team of up to 7 partners.

Keene Valley, New York, United States

Conducted invasive plant species monitoring and management throughout 38 DEC campgrounds and various recreational access points. Documented plant management activities using ESRI Field Maps, iMapInvasives, and Survey123. Synthesized data to prepare season-end report and provide future management recommendations. Monitored forest health while assisting with.

Keene Valley, New York, United States

Worked under the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program within the Adirondack Chapter of TNC. Independently surveyed and managed terrestrial invasive plant species across 39 DEC campgrounds and 75 recreational access points throughout the Adirondack Park. Utilized ArcGIS Collector to record survey and management data, which was synthesized in a season-end.

Waterloo, New York, United States

Performed wetland restoration and maintenance through herbicide application as a certified pesticide technician, treating terrestrial invasive plants. Seeding and planting of native species was also implemented at 2 previously remediated sites. Utilized equipment including backpack sprayer, auger, brush cutter, marsh master, and straw blower. Occasionally.

Tompkins County, New York, United States

Carried out the first year of the Three Gorges Project to survey and manually manage populations of early detection/rapid response invasive plant species. Updated photo reference points to assess previous herbicide treatments. Used GPS units to map native species of interest for seed collection later in the season. Regularly interacted with and educated.

Tompkins County, New York, United States

Used rake toss sampling method to build aquatic plant species profiles for 5 lakes across NYS. Learned to identify over 30 native and invasive aquatic plants. Monitoring was the main focus, with a number of days also dedicated to implementing control measures for Hydrilla verticillata.
