As a project manager, my responsibilities included drafting proposals, overseeing project budgets, and developing white papers and technical memorandums. I also compiled monthly and quarterly monitoring reports, cultivated professional relationships, and led multiple projects and teams simultaneously. This role demanded exceptional organizational skills, the ability to manage large datasets, and expertise in generating detailed monthly, quarterly, and annual reports. Additionally, I was tasked with personnel management, identifying new business opportunities, and conducting thorough data collection and analysis to drive strategic decisions.

As an avian encephalitis specialist, my work encompassed designing and conducting rigorous studies to monitor and analyze the transmission dynamics of West Nile virus (WNV) in specific regions. I performed avian serological surveillance and collected data on avian abundance and diversity through point counts to determine the community competence index at various trap sites. Additionally, I investigated vector feeding preferences by collecting and analyzing blood-fed mosquitoes of the Culex subspecies to identify preferred avian hosts and assess seasonal variations. Leveraging my certification as a commercial drone pilot, I provided drone imagery services to examine how landscape demography influenced transmission rates. I also utilized Autonomous Recording Devices (ARUs) to study how changes in avian community composition affected virus transmission dynamics. The Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY analyzed the collected data to identify which bird species inhabited the study sites and to compare this information with WNV infection rates, thereby identifying potential correlations.
