Champaign, Illinois, United States

I led introductory GIS lab sections using interactive activities focused on spatial analysis, open data, data visualization, and cartography. Across all three semester taught, I was ranked excellent in instructor evaluations by students.

Transitioned research GIS data to ArcGIS Online while standardizing metadata to improve internal data documentation, scientific collaboration, and public data access.Provided ad-hoc mapping and analysis support, including remote sensing, web mapping, and live dashboard development in Arc GIS Online.Developed field data collection tools for internal and.

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area

Our project aims to understand how various kind of agriculture have changed in the Uxeau commune of France, over time. Our forestry component spans from 1834 to current day.Within the project, I assisted with a broad analysis of forest use change over time from 1820 to current day, with a focal area on using remotely sensed data for detailed land use.

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area

I performed sample processing, equipment preparation, data organization, and lab safety maintenance. Helped scout a 7,400-acre land treatment site in Jacksonville, NC with graduate staff to identify groundwater wells and deploy data loggers, coordinating with site employees. Using historical records, I created a database of 19 years of irrigation and well.

Upton, NY

I worked on a project to examine how remote sensing through spectral and thermal data can be used on crops to understand their traits as well as make inference on their health when under stress. As part of this, we manipulated zucchini with a source-sink treatment where we constantly removed their fruits and with a drought treatment, to examine responses.

Washington, NC

My primary responsibility was to coordinate the Sound Rivers' affiliate Swim Guide program, where volunteers from Greenville, NC to Belhaven, NC collected water samples at popular recreational sites and reported our results with the Lower Neuse set of results Fridays with videos. I worked with the Lower Neuse intern, Katie McQuillan, to refine the sampling.
