Sierra National Forest, CA

• Worked in collaboration with Chicago Botanic Garden and the USFS to collect native seed on Forest Service land.
• Established a forest-wide seed collection protocol involving the creation, completion, and organization of field forms using ESRI software.
• Collaborated with Forest Botanists to construct a priority species list for seed collection based on their significance to pollinators and importance in restoration projects.
• Helped identify potential collection locations of priority species through scouting, analysis of herbarium records, previous collections, and vegetation mapping.
• Collected herbarium vouchers and population data for each potential collection site.
• Monitored phenology of target plant populations to plan collections.

Vail, Colorado, United States

• Routinely identified alpine plants throughout the Rocky Mountains using dichotomous keys
• Vouchered and pressed specimens for herbarium records and preformed/processed seed collections for conservation and curational purposes in the remote backcountry above 11,500ft.
• Embarked on scouting and week-long backpacking trips with over 50-pound packs in adverse alpine conditions to monitor under-surveyed areas and map rare plant populations using ESRI software.
• Confidently scouted for, pressed, and collected seed from the Shoshone National Forest to update their records on sensitive alpine species for a long-term re-surveying project.
• Contributed to the planning of field days through the creation and use of surveys and maps on Survery123, ArcGIS Field Maps, and ArcGIS Pro.
• Preformed large-scale data organization and analysis through Microsoft Excel to assess progress on the international Alpine Strategy.

Fort Collins, Colorado, United States

• Independently collected, handled, processed, and analyzed data on plant physiology and root responses to drought by root washing, root scanning, and plant biomass grinding using dangerous machinery and Microsoft Excel.
• Executed 10+ hour field days in hot dry conditions by setting up plots, collecting crop samples, organizing materials, and collaborating with partner organizations.

Colorado, United States

• Monitored alpine vegetative communities on a nine-day hitch in grizzly backcountry for the NPS as part of the international GLORIA Project, involving the set-up of complex plots on rough terrain while conducting.
• Assisted CNHP scientists with conservation field methods including AIM plotting, LPI, small mammal trapping, beaver dam analogs, BioBlitzes, weed mapping, wetland delineation, and collecting/pressing herbarium specimens.
• Utilized dichotomous keys, TerraFlex, and ArcGIS Field Maps for plant identification and data collection.

Fort Coliins
