I am a hardworking young professional with a passion for aquatic research, with a particular interest in the ecology and management of freshwater fish. I am currently in a contract position as an Assessment Biologist with the Lake Erie Management Unit of the MNDMNRF.The following list highlights some of the most relevant skills and experience gained through my post-secondary education and early career: • Knowledge of many techniques related to fisheries and aquatic science. This includes, but is not limited to: aquatic species identification, aging of hard structures, collection of life-history data, and proficiency with acoustic telemetry technology.• The ability to conduct basic and complex statistical analyses, including those commonly used in the field of fisheries management. This skill involves competency with Microsoft Office 365 and the statistical program 'R'. • Experience with data input and validation.
