I am engaged in projects associated with conservation planning, landscape architecture, park planning, natural area management, regional planning, cartography, GIS, ecological restoration, and site assessment. Scales of projects vary from statewide mapping, to assessments over millions of acres, to site specific land management plans and installation oversight, to land use planning in urban settings.

Digital Animation and Rendering| Spring ‘18This semester long course focuses on modeling a 3D environment then composing an establishing scene and rendering an animation that is focused on materials and dynamics. As a TA I attend lab sessions, write/disperse detailed lab notes, respond to lab and project related queries outside of class, and conduct class related research for future discussion. Urban GIS & Intro to GIS| FALL ‘17The course gives an overview of GIS, shows how it is currently being used in professional and academic settings, goes through multiple applications associated with planning and policy, and looks at methods for critically evaluating data and geographic analysis outcomes. As a TA, I led lab sessions twice a week, graded assignments, and assisted with final project development.Landuse/Landcover Change| SPRING ‘17The class is an applied, collaborative, and experiential computer-based course in assessing landscape change via remote sensing, GIS, and pattern analysis, primarily using ERDAS Imagine. As a teaching assistant I assisted in weekly lab demonstrations, conducted computer lab office hours, and graded weekly assignments.National Parks & Protected Areas| SPRING ‘17The course provides an introduction to management related issues of National Parks and Protected Areas. As a teaching assistant I graded papers and was available for student inquiries. The Doctor Patient Relationship| FALL ‘16This course explores the complex doctor-patient relationship through interdisciplinary discussions, and is preparation for a career in healthcare and/or to becoming a citizen who can effectively contribute to the process of change in the healthcare system of the future. As a TA, I attended lecture, lead discussion sections, and graded student essays.

During this summer internship, I assisted in landscape architectural analysis and design on projects including masterplans, city park design, wayfinding signage, and community survey interpretation. Clients were primarily public sector including city/county government and California State Parks.

Interned for the Urban Trails program within the Public Works department. Managed trail sign placement and installation. Developed graphic maps for signage, public information and Safe Routes to School program. Performed GIS analysis and maintenance as needed.

GIS analysis/database management and cartography, field data collection, restoration project planning and management. Main projects include:-LANDSCAPE PLANNING FRAMEWORK: Project manager; GIS lead. Using existing spatial datasets and principles/guidelines pertaining to juvenile salmonids to identify high value habitat for restoration planning.-BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION BIOLOGICAL OPINION: Provide technical support and lead geodatabase development of restoration projects in the Lower Columbia River Estuary.-NORTH UNIT RESTORATION: On the ground restoration project conducted to restore connectivity between important wetland areas for juvenile salmonids on the Columbia River. Project also focused on invasive pasture grass removal and native plant rehabilitation.-DESIGN CRITERIA: Conducted extensive field work and analysis with Phil Williams and Associates and the Army Corps of Engineers resulting in the published report “Design Guidelines for the Enhancement and Creation of Estuarine Habitats in the Middle Reaches of the Lower Columbia River” (September 2011).

Assisted with the planning and execution of outreach events geared towards local minority and low income communities to provide free environmental education and recreation opportunities. Planned and led environmental education programs for students in grade school.
