Costa Mesa. California

With Geosyntec I am able to provide innovative solutions to a suite of environmental issues for clients in both the public and private sector. I assist with and manage projects that fall into three main practice areas, including ecosystem science and management, biogeochemistry & water quality, and environmental statistics. My contributions at Geosyntec.

Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

I worked in the Moore Ecohydrology Laboratory providing technical assistance to research projects in hydrology and ecosystem science. This typically requires the construction and installation of sap flow systems, installation and maintenance of eddy covariance systems, and collection of various environmental media (soil, twigs, surface water) for chemical.

Aiken, South Carolina

I performed advanced modeling of radionuclide fate and transport in soil and groundwater using the GoldSim Contaminant Transport Model to assist with developing model scenarios for decommissioning and deactivation (D&D) of a former nuclear materials processing facility on the Savannah River Site. To holistically aid in the D&D process I also performed.

Edgewater, Maryland

My role as an intern at SERC allowed me to work with an incredible group of scientists and conduct research on methane fluxes between C3, C4, and mixed salt marshes in the Chesapeake Bay Global Change Research Wetland (GCREW). To do so I designed and built steady-state gas flux sampling chambers and installed them in the field for remote continuous data.

San Antonio, Texas Area

In the environmental engineering laboratories, I assisted with research related to stormwater treatment using bioretention and sand filter basins in San Antonio, TX. Throughout my experience I aided in column experiment construction and testing using various soil media, analysis of water quality samples for TSS, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen.

San Antonio, Texas Area

With the UTSA Department of Geology River Science Laboratory, I was able to assist numerous graduate students and professors with research on the influences of sand on gravel bedload transport in the San Antonio River, as well as characterization and particle size distribution of bed material in the San Antonio River. Most of my time was spent using.

San Antonio, Texas Area

Working with SAWS allowed me to gain invaluable skills in data management, environmental planning, and customer service that was a direct result of their unique approach to water resource management and conservation in the city of San Antonio. During my time at SAWS I conducted the first large scale statistical evaluation of rain barrel programs as a.

San Antonio, Texas Area

While working with the San Antonio River Authority I conducted various aquatic biological assessments in the San Antonio River Basin, including Fish Community and Physical Habitat Assessments, Endangered Species Surveys, and Rapid Bioassessment Protocols. To supplement these assessments, I collected grab samples for water quality testing, and used.

Asheville, North Carolina Area

For my second summer in Asheville I acted as the point of contact (POC) for the Bent Creek Experimental Forest Seasonal Prescribed Burn Study. This entailed various technical tasks such as identifying herpetofauna, small mammals, and vegetation of the Southern Appalachian Mountains Region, as well as collecting data on the organisms themselves and on.

Asheville, North Carolina Area

With the USFS I assisted two graduate students from the University of Texas at San Antonio and one graduate student from North Carolina State University with research related to prescribed fire and silvicultural treatments in regards to oak regeneration efforts and quantifying the possible unintended consequences of fauna mortality. This took the ability.
