∙ Conducted vegetation and surface fuel field surveys prior to and after management treatments, including prescribed fire and thinning. Monitored environmental change over time and assessed fire severity to inform fire management decisions. ∙ Performed data entry, analysis, and queried the database to identify and correct entry errors. Followed established queries, provided feedback on quality control procedures, and wrote my own queries.∙ Researched and synthesized information on threatened and endangered species occurring in Bandelier National Monument and Valles Caldera National Preserve. Reported habitat requirements, potentially affected project areas, species specific fire effects, and best management practices. ∙ Monitored sensitive habitat for endangered Plethodon neomexicanus and compiled BMP recommendations into cohesive, succinct reports for fire and resource managers.∙ Assisted in training new interns on field protocols and provided background information on disturbance ecology and native plant species.∙ Prepared and led monthly safety meetings for the field crew covering seasonally relevant topics.∙ Took photos for long term photo-monitoring efforts and managed photo database quality control.∙ Gained knowledge of southwestern flora, fauna, and management strategies specific to interagency public land management and fire adapted landscapes.

∙ Rapidly learned scientific and common names, identifying traits, and habitat needs of over 100 native plants∙ Designed habitat-specific planting palettes for sites that met site leader requests, restoration needs, and grant obligations. Developed and executed plans for seed/cutting collection, propagation, and planting to meet deadlines∙ Prioritized, planned and implemented nursery projects to maintain existing infrastructure, coordinated Eagle Scouts and volunteers to execute construction projects, and implemented BMP recommendations to prevent Phytophthora ∙ Planned large-scale events in coordination with volunteers groups, city organizations, and other non-profit agencies, such as the annual Native Plant Sale and Open House, Solstice Planting, and Earth Day ∙ Conducted volunteer outreach and management, fostered relationships with group leaders, city staff and site leaders∙ Worked with endangered Arctostaphylos pallida, including propagating clones, managing restoration efforts of existing colonies, collaborating with other non-profits to implement a volunteer monitoring program, and analyzing field data∙ Planned IPM strategies and revegetation efforts based on knowledge of plant lifecycle and physiology∙ Assisted in training, supervising, and prioritizing tasks for interns. Led volunteer groups and field trips regularly.∙ Assisted in various administrative tasks, including grant writing and reports, supplies purchasing and budget tracking∙ Quickly and precisely performed data entry, including volunteer hours, mapping in CalFlora, and Salesforce∙ Worked independently and remotely with minimal supervision. Implemented feedback from the executive director, board members, and key volunteers

- Oversaw propagation, nursery maintenance, volunteer workdays, and collection hikes- Coordinated purchasing and construction of a new irrigation system- Researched and implemented best management practices for Phytophthora- Provided site leader support, including native plant consultations and insight on restoration techniques- Coordinated Annual Native Plant Sale and Open House

∙ Led and supported school groups and community members in habitat restoration and stewardship projects in urban and wild areas of the Sausal Creek Watershed.∙ Created programming for K-12 students in watershed ecology, biological monitoring, and climate change.∙ Led field trips, volunteer workdays, seed/cutting collection hikes, coordinated volunteers.∙ Assisted in all aspects of nursery management including irrigation, seed processing and sowing, transplanting, mapping rare local species with CalFlora

- Weekly after-school club for ~25 students grades 6-8- Planned all lessons, supplies purchasing, plant selection- Topics ranged from plant physiology, invasive species, pollinators, native plants of Oakland, general ecology, and principles of sustainable agriculture

∙ After-school tutoring aimed at mastering core concepts and homework help for struggling students. ∙ Comfortable managing groups of children, communicating information, assessing understanding.
