While at Smith & Lehmann Consulting, I worked on a retrospective process and impact evaluation of the efficacy of weatherization measures in reducing energy usage, energy bills, and improving payment for low-income households in Utah, Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming.

Laramie, Wy

I designed and completed an in-depth economic and statistical analysis of the potential profitability and sustainability of various farming methods: conventional, reduced-tillage, and organic on a representative farm in Lingle, Wyoming. I was responsible for constructing empirical budget models for each of the three cropping-systems, and using these models to perform an @Risk Monte Carlo simulation of potential profit situations. All analyses was conducted on a per-acre basis to allow local farmers, who were possibly considering converting their operation to either a reduced-tillage or organic, to apply the results directly to their operations.This project was part of a larger grant-based project funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, which assessed the region-specific environmental and climate based impacts of different farming methods over sort- and long-term rotational periods. I worked independently, yet collaboratively with stakeholders, staff at the University of Wyoming’s Agricultural Experiment Station, research team members, and committee members in an effort to publish my research, and I continue to present my conclusions and analysis to stakeholders and the public. •Developed hypotheses, research prospectus, and methods of analysis•Gathered, analyzed and interpreted on-farm data as well as data from outside sources•Developed spreadsheet-based enterprise budgets for use in a Monte Carlo Analysis•Worked with farm managers and local farmers to ensure a valuable project outcome•Presented conclusions and analysis to committee members and the public•Exposure to organic, reduced-input, and conventional farming methods•Gained experience with GAMS, GIS, atRISK, and Excel Solver
