Fremont, Seattle

I was a member of the Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team (FERA), housed within the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station, for two long field seasons. FERA studies fuel consumption and fuel effects on fire behavior, fire emissions, and fire effects.

Missoula, MT

In addition to managing two projects related to my Master's research, I assisted with data collection for a population viability analysis study by a fellow UM Restoration Ecology Lab graduate student (March 2016, 2017). In summer of 2016, I interned with the National Forest Foundation, where I worked on a citizen-science monitoring initiative focused on.

Missoula, Montana Area

The focus of my coursework in graduate school has been on statistical analyses, remote sensing and LiDAR data analyses, and forest restoration. In summer of 2014 I managed a post-fire (2007 Moonlight Fire) monitoring project on the Plumas National Forest and will have produced two reports for the Plumas by the completion of my Master's degree. For my.

Our field work is in the American River Valley, conducting a chronosequence study of vegetation recovery on fires ranging from 40 to 8 years in age. Most of the field season has been in plantations where my duties are installing Common Stand Exams, collecting regeneration data, and working as the crew botanist to identify all species and collect species.

South Lake Tahoe, CA

I worked as an AmeriCorps Volunteer once again, this time monitoring river restoration projects before, during, and after installation. Most of our work was focused on the Upper Truckee River although I did get to see the construction of the 1,200 ft long Blackwood Creek project. I developed my own native seed project as well as an Integrative Weed.

Oregon

This was an AmeriCorps position. My major job duties were stewardship focused and included invasive species mapping and control, fence maintenance and construction, prescribed fire, native species plantings, and vegetation monitoring. I worked all over the state, from Enterprise and the Zumwalt Prairie to John Day Country; from the Juniper Hills Preserve.

Mi-Wuk District, Stanislaus National Forest

In 2010 I was on the Botany Crew for the Mi-Wuk District and our duties focused on surveying project areas for sensitive, threatened, rare, and endangered plant species, as well as for noxious weeds. The highlight of this position was finding several previously unknown populations of rare species. Most of them are beautiful wildflowers growing in scenic.

Mojave Desert

I was hired by the Marine Science Institute of UCSB to research the efficacy of three tamarisk (saltcedar) control treatments used on the Virgin River floodplains and their tributary washes. We collected detailed plot data in control and treated areas including measures of species diversity (Modified-Whittakers), vertical and horizontal structure (Nudds.
