Muncey, Ontario, Canada

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I sorted, weighed, dried, and identified vascular plant samples from oil sands reclamation monitoring sites across northern Alberta. For plant identification, I used field guides, a hand lens, and a dissecting scope. I became familiar with Carex spp. and Salix spp. identification, in addition to many others. I processed samples for herbarium archive.

Lac La Biche, Alberta, Canada

I collected environmental data from long-term monitoring sites in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic conditions. I used an inflatable kayak to access aquatic field sites, and collected bathymetry measurements (using a Garmin GPS to 1-2 degree accuracy on water), invertebrate samples, water chemistry samples and measurements (absorbance, turbidity, Quanta.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I referred community members to many services including housing, mental health, financial assistance, and indigenous ceremony and culture. I was responsible for the mental, physical, and emotional safety of community members while they were in the space. I was trained in conflict de-escalation strategies, as well as overdose response using Naloxone.

Sunrise Gardens Organic Farm, Onoway, AB

I assisted with organic microgreen and vegetable production. This included seeding, transplanting, weeding, watering, and harvesting. I also monitored the farm's soil microbiota and thermal compost pile (compound microscope, temperature probe). We produced sunflower and pea shoots, carrots, beets, potatoes, salad greens, fennel, rosemary, and squash.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I provided gardening services to high-end clients in a solo and team environment. This included transplanting, pruning, clearing, watering, and weeding. I worked efficiently to meet short deadlines in outdoor conditions such as heat, wind, and light rain.

Northern Forestry Centre, Edmonton, AB

I processed, assessed, and recorded hundreds of core samples from trees across northern Canada to determine their inner ring count and other dendrochronological characteristics. After mounting and sanding the samples using carpentry tools, I used CDendro and CooRecorder software to determine ring counts and ancillary data and input that to a database.

Department Of Biological Sciences, Edmonton, AB

I studied in the Tank Lab of Aquatic Biogeochemistry and was a recipient of the NSERC Canadian Graduate Students - Master's Scholarship. I collaborated with scientists at BC’s Hakai Institute to study freshwater carbon dynamics in northern pacific coastal rainforest watersheds using in-situ stream chemistry sensors (fDOM, turbidity, pCO2). I calibrated the.

Department Of Earth Sciences, Edmonton, AB

I took leadership in a field research project on opportunistic wetland assessment and formation in reclaimed and natural landscapes. I designed a randomized field survey using satellite photos and DEM analysis in ArcGIS. I delineated and classified small wetland systems using provincial wetland assessment standards (Ontario and Alberta). I installed.

Nova Scotia, Canada

I designed a flowering hedgerow to plant around the perimeter of the farm’s property to support local, native pollinator species throughout the growing season. I conducted an observational study to investigate the farm’s flowering phenology and corresponding pollinator species. I monitored honey bees, various bumble bee species, other native bee species.
