• Analyzing nematode trophic communities in reburn sites on Swanton Pacific Ranch to find a correlation with the severity of the fire• Sampling soil samples in rough terrain

• Analyzing the health of rangeland soils and various efforts to restore soil health• Assessing microarthropod populations for links to soil health• Using accessible science by assessing photo scans of microarthropod samples

• Cover crop - soil nematode community relations of the Cal Poly lemon orchard (specifically the number of plant parasitic nematodes)• Presented findings on a poster at college Spring Research Symposium

Led an independent project in conjunction with the Alaska Northeast Soil and Plant Division to create a soil monolith for community outreach and science communicationCompleted introductory and Year 1 Conservation Planner courses through AglearnAided in hydrologic ArcGIS Pro work in conjunction with the resident civil engineerCompleted updated standardized soil carbon sampling trainingCommunicated with producers for on-site visits, including understanding their needs, giving technical support, helping them understand cost-share contracts, and conducting wetland determinations.
