I built statistical models to understand causes of harmful algal bloom formations in Lake Erie.

Columbia, Missouri

I pursued my PhD in Ecology with certificates in Conservation Biology and Science & Public Policy. While there, I engaged in high-quality scientific research to make connections to management implications. While at Mizzou, I...- Taught biology lab for non-majors- Taught ecology lab- Intensively sampled 200 ponds at Fort Leonard Wood, MO to determine source/sink dynamics of amphibians- Designed and implemented experiments to determine how leaf litter and community structure change trophic interactions in ponds- Analyzed samples for total and dissolved nutrients, DOC, chl a, and stable isotopes- Used new statistical techniques to analyze data (and am always interested in learning more!)

Minneapolis, Mn

- Monitored the water quantity and quality from stormwater outfalls to the Mississippi River- Install and maintain automated sampling equipment- Monitored wetlands for water quality and IBIs- Collected bacteria samples in the river and stormwater sites- Conducted river water quality monitoring- Surveyed outfalls for illicit discharge detection- Managed, cleaned, and analyzed data of flow and water quality- Built and maintained an Access database for water quality data- Calculated pollutant loads

St. Paul, Mn

- Monitored stormwater tunnel and BMP (best management practice) water quantity and quality- Conducted automated sampler installations and maintenance- Collected macroinvertebrates and calculated wetland IBI for urban wetlands

Minneapolis, Mn

- Sampled urban lakes- Monitored stream hydrology and chemistry at base and stormflow conditions- Conducted stormwater collections to determine quantity and quality in tunnels of Minneapolis- Installed and maintained automated ISCO samplers- Monitored for invasive species- Analyzed long-term datasets of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities for trends among 14 lakes

Oxford, Oh

- Designed a large-scale mesocosm experiment testing the affects of light and nutrients on food chain efficiency in aquatic systems- Lab analyses of primary production, chlorophyll, nutrient composition of algae- Zooplankton enumeration- Lab analyses of fish and tadpole N, P, C, and fatty acid compositions - Statistical analyses of data including ANOVA, regression, repeated-measures ANOVA, ANCOVA, and some PCA- Teaching assistant for general biology and Limnology labs

Center For Limnology

Worked on a team to investigate the effects of observation error in zooplankton biomass measurements on the chlorophyll a/TP relationship. My roles included:- Sampled 20 lakes in northern Wisconsin- Enumerated five samples from each lake for crustacean zooplankton biomass- Basic statistical analyses- Chlorophyll a analysis

Doctor Of Philosophy (Phd), Ecology

I am a limnologist who knows quite a bit about amphibian ecology and hydrology. The central goal of my PhD research is to understand.
