• Research and organize historical data in collaboration with professors • Work in a team of other assistants to create maps in QGIS and Illustrator to eventually be published in a modern global atlas.

•Create land cover profiles for eight watersheds in the Burlington, VT area•Calculate land cover metrics such as impervious surface cover, road density, and linear lane miles •Run backwards regressions to test significance of land cover metrics on water chloride content•Assist in field work including macroinvertebrate collection and identification, water sampling, discharge measurement, and stream sensor installation

• Deliver online seminars for various photography clubs and organizations.• Teach courses on photography technique and ethical methods of wildlife photography.• Participated in a one week externship in June 2022 to photograph bears and other wildlife while learning about the ecotourism industry in Iliamna, Alaska

•Implemented 15 bioacoustic microphones and performed 2 breeding bird surveys in cooperation with VT Fish & Wildlife to detect species of conservation interest to mitigate effects of future projects on habitat and follow best practices for maintenance of road, rail, and aviation networks. · Inspected more than 60 culverts and bridges across Vermont to create an up-to-date database of bat roosts, wildlife crossings, and fish migration routes. · Managed and compiled field data in ArcGIS to visualize wildlife corridors, map sensitive areas for state biologists and archaeologists, and study the impacts of interstate mowing on Monarch Butterflies.

• Code Shiny applications in RStudio to synthesize Wildlife Conservation Society data in order to visualize the wellbeing of communities adjacent to protected areas in central Africa.• Collaborate with Wildlife Conservation Society to produce data exploration tools to demonstrate effectiveness of survey techniques and garner funding for future projects.

• Surveyed wetlands in Valdivia, Chile for Many-colored Rush Tyrant (songbird).• Used QGIS to classify habitat quality and connectivity to study impact of urbanization on wetland species.• Analyzed survey results and incorporated geographical and historical data to investigate current bird population trends across five wetland complexes.

• Identified trees native to central Chilean forests within the botanical garden to update pre-pandemic database of plants and survey for unreported species. • Marked hundreds of species totaling over 600 GPS points and assembled in QGIS.• Combined QGIS information and updated database to map plant distribution and measure spatial capacity of the garden.

• Catalogued, photographed, and tagged museum specimens to update database of bird, mammal, and insect collections.• Utilized collections data to advise on future exhibits, culminating in the opening of "A Year on the Edge", an exhibit designed to increase local awareness of wildlife native to southern Ohio.
