• Designed and managed three research projects on legume nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation, including field, greenhouse, and lab work. • Developed skills in data management, statistical procedures, and attention to detail.• Enhanced proficiency in writing and presenting research to the scientific community.

• Performed research on revegetation of sagebrush steppe plant communities in desert locations. • Enhanced plant identification skills of native and invasive species.• Prepared and maintained a variety of records, maps, reports, plans, and resource inventories. • Gained experience in setup and deployment of dataloggers and associated sensors in the field.

• Curated native plant and pollinator gardens while encouraging resource conservation practices.• Taught STEM classes to groups of 50 elementary school students twice a week for 5 hours a day.• Developed content for websites, social media platforms, and other community outreach initiatives.• Welcomed guests, led tours, and mentored volunteers.

• Managed two 1-acre gardens while directly supervising a gardener, temporary employees, and many volunteers. • Compiled and analyzed data to present and discuss with Growers and Plant Trials community. • Placed orders, managed a budget of $10,000, and maintained inventory.

• Assisted with maintenance of 400-acre agricultural production including management of weeds, irrigation systems, fertilizer, and pesticides.• Established a soil health project on a one-acre field; including measuring soil compaction, pulling soil samples, calculating bulk density, preparing seed mixtures, and recording percent live cover. • Performed tissue culture maintenance cuts and scale ups of approximately 200 varieties of potatoes in order to plant and provide over 1000 lbs. of… Show more • Assisted with maintenance of 400-acre agricultural production including management of weeds, irrigation systems, fertilizer, and pesticides.• Established a soil health project on a one-acre field; including measuring soil compaction, pulling soil samples, calculating bulk density, preparing seed mixtures, and recording percent live cover. • Performed tissue culture maintenance cuts and scale ups of approximately 200 varieties of potatoes in order to plant and provide over 1000 lbs. of Generation zero potatoes for local growers each year. • Began germination tests, Tetrazolium tests, and purity tests on grain and grass seed for future seed analyses.
