As a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in Dr. Daniel Schindler's research group at the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, I study a variety of topics within freshwater ecology. I use a combination of modeling, field data collection and lab techniques to investigate research questions. My master's thesis research examines the effect of wildfire disturbance on stream metabolism and trophic dynamics across a gradient of disturbance severity in central Idaho streams. Additional research projects include: --Effect of stream geomorphology and salmon density on spawner distribution patterns in the Wood River system, Alaska--Impact of eutrophication on zooplankton community change in Puget Lowland lakes, Washington--Effectiveness of critical habitat designation in conservation of endangered fish species

Used PCR, QPCR, Western blots, and tissue culture to examine aneuploidy in human and rodent liver cells

--Co-led project to study mussel distribution and population health in Klamath watershed --Trained student field workers and Karuk Tribe fisheries crew in survey protocol and techniques--Responsible for logistics, data management, statistical analysis, scientific summaries and reporting

Conducted fisheries monitoring of shoreline restoration sites in San Juan County; Researched and compiled scientific literature for technical workshop on cumulative impacts to nearshore environment

Monitored endangered desert tortoise populations; part of long-term US Fish and Wildlife Service project.

Orleans, California

Program to conserve, restore and enhance watersheds by linking education and community volunteerism with science --Worked on variety of projects: Invasive Weeds, Fisheries, Fire and Fuels, Native Plants, Riparian Restoration--Planned, coordinated, and facilitated volunteer restoration workdays and community outreach efforts--Planned and implemented a six-week watershed science curriculum in four local elementary school classrooms--Assisted in grant writing, data management, and report writing

Studied forest regeneration across a gradient of burn severity on the Biscuit Fire complex in Southern Oregon. Collected field data on soils, existing vegetation cover, burn severity, seedling recruitment.
