Work with a collaborative team to manage the network of stream gages across western Montana year-round to assure the accuracy and quality of the data collected for our cooperators and public.Efficiently collect discharge measurements with a variety of ADCP/ADV equipment across all types of seasonal flows and environmental conditions to better the accuracy of each sites rating curves.Assess real-time water data for quality control, examine measurement impacts to correct to or assure ratings strength, and analyze long term and current records of sites for approval.

White Sulphur Springs, Montana, United States

Obtained data from the public focused on fishing pressure and resulting aspects (creel surveys) to evaluate fishing factors relevant to management efforts, assisted biological sampling for quality and aging assessments.Record, collect, and organize quantitative and qualitative data obtained through interactions with a wide variety of audiences representing the Montana FWP in professional public outreach and education.Coordinate with supervisory staff to collect biological samples of zooplankton and perform trap net pulls involving local species to floy tag for further research.Identify, measure, weigh, and sample certain fish species for otolith collection, be well-versed in local regulations to relay to the public and assist with regulation monitoring.Input all data components from various form’s utilized through the last year, organized thoroughly and accurately for further statistical analysis.

Great Falls, Montana, United States

Accomplished streamflow monitoring for water rights and long term purposes, land surveying for modeling diagrams, riparian habitat restoration and boundary mapping, electrofishing, and road decommissioning activities amongst various multi-department and agency projects within the watershed, forestry, and fisheries sectors.Depended on physical abilities to transport and hike in equipment, setup project arrays, and meticulously note key aspects for analyzing through tablet GIS, Survey123, Sontek, and land surveying products.Utilized independent judgement on assessing stream crossings, road, and culvert conditions for evaluations pre- and post-timber logging activities, to perform quality control on data real-time, and to assure high accuracy during laser surveying for stream and road models.Installed, serviced, and repaired hydrologic equipment for monitoring sites, assembled and transmitted field data, maintain QA/QC in-field with various parameters to assess.

Cold Spring, Minnesota, United States

Learned fresh and developed existing contracting skills revolving around the most efficient and economical approaches for projects, including but not limited to roofing, landscaping, rough and finish carpentry, concrete, windows, siding, interior design, cabinetry, and decking.Participated in the project scope designing, material ordering and distribution, and laboring for projects start to finish.

Red Lake, Mn

Performs water sampling preparations, sonde parameter collections, flow rate surveys, data logging, and stage meter using standard operating procedures in accordance with the data compilation uses such as water quality monitoring and water budgets.Neatly and accurately organize, validate, and perform physical and chemical lab analysis including quality control assemblage and measurements, to maintain log of water quality parameters, to ensure that the environment safety and stability and to catch inconsistencies. Participate in sample shipments, along with data accrual of field and lab measurements for analysis such as stage-discharge relationships, to achieve results in a timely and appropriate manner to keep water budget records updated.Provide valuable individual project support ranging from algae monitoring SOP's, research and correlation for depleting lake levels, running geophysics surveys for hydrologic investigations (resistivity), biological tissue sampling, and assisting wetland delineations to further company agenda.

Red Lake, Mn

Assisted with the overview of water quality field monitoring and sampling with sondes, flow trackers and surveyors, stage meters, and data loggers and surface collections along with chemical and physical lab analysis of a variety of parameters.Completed analysis of water samples in a timely fashion to meet standards of completion time for different parameters to provide accurate data for inventory updates.Collaborated with wildlife and parks staff on Gray Wolf Project to partake in field investigations of species identifications to determine techniques to utilize for increased likelihood of targeted species capture.Attentively recorded animal specifications in addition to GPS-collaring and other future long-term monitoring techniques for data collection, while monitoring wildlife habitat to determine if steps are to be taken to improve environments for animals and the community to preserve ecosystems.

Bemidji, Mn

Performed surface and downhole geophysical research methods (Magnetic Susceptibility, Spontaneous Potential, Resistivity) in addition to base knowledge of addition data collection survey types (GPR, VES, IP, Seismic).Monitored observation well installations, efficiently constructed and input survey equipment arrays, and precisely executed compilation of base measurements and analysis such as smear zone determination for equipment placement, to initiate field research projects to measure microbial degradation of a crude oil spill, using geophysics surveys (magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, spontaneous potential, ground penetrating radar).Developed a familiarity with the operation and running of various environmental programs for data and spreadsheet creation for data to report the research project leaders the geophysical surveys are ran for, including Rutgers University’s, the USGS, and NSF, to be presented at the American Geophysics Union Conference and publication in scientific journals.

Bemidji, Mn

Participated in Sustainability Office campus events to elevate success and knowledge of sustainability with the student body along with assisting with the upkeep of the campus free-store while maintaining projects for the office on an individual basis.Fulfilled individual project assignments based on personal interests in the environmental field, my assignment mainly focused on divestment.Learned more in-depth about the efforts required to become a more sustainable individual and how to involve others towards the goal of sustainability.

Bemidji, Mn

Advocated for current and future students through a statewide MinnState organization focusing on the goal areas of sustainability, student health and wellness, college affordability (i.e. textbooks), and diversity.Organized, represented, and informed students through discussing challenges, goals, and experiences to better the system of higher education through delegate sessions reforming MinnState policies.Established events focused on the goals areas of Students United through resourcefulness and networking to have successful participation; particularly for environmental-based occasions.

Informed the community on why their involvement is essential with stopping and/or hindering aquatic invasive species spreading.Performed inspections visually and physically on all varieties of watercraft to ensure compliance with laws and to uphold the safety of our public waterways.Share environmental water laws and policies to inform waterway users.
