I am currently teaching PA 6050: Managing Public Sector Organizations at OSU's Glenn College of Public Affairs.

I taught courses on public management and public policy analysis and conducted research to complete my dissertation.

Identical duties to the University Fellowship below. I continued my studies at The Ohio State University as an Environmental Fellow with the College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences. I worked with Dr. Ramiro Berardo in his Environmental Policy lab at the School of Environment and Natural Resources.

I attended The Ohio State University as a University Fellow in pursuit of my MPA and MS (environmental social science) via a dual degree program. My research focused on collaborative environmental governance and its effects on learning. I worked with Dr. Ramiro Berardo in his Environmental Policy lab at the School of Environment and Natural Resources.

I planned and executed research projects focused on best practices for industry sector partnerships (ISPs), the management of talent pipelines, and alignment of statewide strategies with regional workforce development programs in Ohio’s manufacturing sector.

I conducted stream assessments across the state of West Virginia. This included water sample collection; benthic macroinvertebrate collection and identification; fish collection and identification; benthic habitat assessment; riparian habitat assessment; sonde calibration and use; flow meter use; backpack shocking apparatus use; GIS skills; topographic map and GPS navigational skills; public outreach and general interaction; scientific report reading, processing, and proofing; and accessing remote sites in inclement weather. In addition to those responsibilities, I was in charge of my own Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) list. This includes the scouting and establishment of new monitoring sites, monthly water quality sampling, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling, assessment of surrounding habitat, and determination of upstream influences. I also was in charge of the greater part of the state's Ambient Water Quality Network (AWQN) sites. These sites were sampled every other month, and several required the use of a specialized bridge crane and sampling tube. Finally, I did a great deal of work analyzing, coding, and performing corrections on deployable sonde data using Aquarius software from Aquatic Informatics.

I conducted stream assessments across the state of West Virginia. This included water sample collection; benthic macroinvertebrate collection and identification; fish collection and identification; substrate habitat assessment; riparian habitat assessment; sonde calibration and use; flow meter use; backpack shocking apparatus use; GIS skills; topographic map and GPS navigational skills; public outreach and general interaction; scientific report reading, processing, and proofing; and accessing remote sites in inclement weather.

I worked at the Ridge Tool Co. distribution center; I received orders to assemble and pack in preparation for shipping. I occasionally assembled press kits and operated a tow motor.

I worked at the Ridge Tool Co. microplant; I assembled a variety of tools and press kits, packed and prepared units for shipping, and operated a tow motor.

I assembled, packed, and stacked several items produced by plastic injection molding presses.

I served as a teaching assistant for the Muskingum University Geology Department. This position involved preparing laboratory activities for undergraduate students; explaining complex concepts and data; evaluation of student work and proficiency; and aiding students in test preparation.

I collaborated with Muskingum University faculty and the Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District to perform a detailed analysis of the water quality in the Salt Creek watershed in eastern Ohio. This position required the use of various sondes for collection of in situ parameters, such as dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and conductivity; water sample collection; preparation of standard solutions; spectrophotometer use and analysis of colorimetric data; titration procedure; fecal coliform and E. Coli analysis with Coliscan Easygel; biochemical oxygen demand calculation; data compilation and effective visualization; analytical and technical writing; Microsoft Excel use; presentation preparation and delivery of results.
