I attended Colorado State University where I earned a B.S. in watershed science. While there, I studied the impacts of various land use activities on surface water and groundwater environments. In addition, I minored in geospatial information systems and also earned an interdisciplinary minor in sustainable water. These minors have provided me with a strong foundation in applied technological, physical, and ecological practices as they are related to watershed science. By coupling field-based training with data analysis methodologies, I have been provided an integrative education that has equipped me thrive in the field of natural resource management.Independent research projects have allowed me to become immersed in topics that I am personally interested in. My focus within the program is on the impact of natural disturbances on water quality and water resources. For example, I’ve worked on multiple projects that are concentrated on the invasive Russian olive tree and how its spread not only impacts riparian habitats, but can also be damaging to stream water quality and ecology.
