• Dr. Claire Oswald's Watershed Hydrology and Biogeochemistry Group
• Managed field operations and water quality data QA/QC of an Environment Canada Lake Simcoe/South-Eastern Georgian Bay Clean-Up Fund project examining hydrological and landscape drivers of elevated turbidity and.
• Developed protocols for executing field water sampling, procuring equipment and supplies, laboratory management, and maintenance of equipment (i.e. EXO Sonde 2 water quality sonde, extensive network of Solinst.
• Analyzed results with custom MATLAB scripts and GIS-based mapping using ArcMap which contributed to final technical report; scripts were modified and applied to an associated project
• Liaised with the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and Meteorological Service of Canada to obtain up-to-date geospatial and provisional hydrometric data respectively

Hamilton, Ontario

• Dr. Altaf Arain's Hydrometeorology and Climatology Group
• Actively maintained and troubleshooted eddy covariance (i.e. CO2, H2O, energy), weather (e.g. temperature, radiation, precipitation), and soil (e.g. temperature, moisture) instruments and dataloggers at four forest.
• Coordinated and executed field data collection and instrument data downloads; conducted QA/QC and compiling of data to progress multiple student projects and upload to global databases
• Analyzed 13 years of high-frequency data in MATLAB, solved problems, implemented solutions, and acted proactively to obtain data from external sources when required
• Communicated results of research through scientific manuscripts and conferences, which advocated young plantation forests as an effective means to mitigate atmospheric CO2 concentrations
• Established and maintained excellent working relationships with administration and collaborators
