- Utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve students' adaptive behavior by 90% so they can return to public academic settings.- Record daily progress and conduct monthly data analysis to adjust ABA techniques and reach target outcomes.

- Collaborating with a cross-functional team of 8 to redevelop key elements of the company website with 14,000 users.- Independently implementing new features built with TypeScript, Vue, and Vuetify to enhance member profile usabilityand functionality while coordinating with a backend team of two.

- Analyzed and managed data for management decisions and quota tracking on commercial fishing activity.- Compiled large scientific data sets alongside the vessel team while at sea while maintaining quality control in extreme weather and conditions.- Ensured statutory compliance with environmental processes and statutes aboard commercial fishing vessels to conserve fish populations, aligning operations with the standards mandated by various federal acts.- Coordinated with stakeholders by gathering and reviewing the scientific data through report submittals for each trip.

- Improved efficiency by 20% resulting in reduced project timeline for 2 types of surveying for mitigation projects.- Utilized Leica Captivate software for field data collection by Leica Total Stations and Trimble.

- Conducted independent research resulting in a 50% higher propagation success rate by improving propagation techniques for common and federally endangered freshwater mussels through raising ion concentrations for enhancement and improvement of the mussels' survival and growth.- Planned, designed, and managed the project including water quality monitoring parameters, aquaculture system construction, and data collection and analysis.- Utilized mathematical and statistical models to analyze and interpret collected scientific data and provided analysis in a research report presented to the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center and adjacent faculty.

Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center- Assisted in captive propagation and culture of species listed as federally endangered and other non-listed species for release into native streams.- Performed captive care techniques for host fish and juvenile mussels including counting and measuring mussels using a dissecting microscope, water quality monitoring, and constructing and maintaining aquaculture systems.

Soils LabTested and summarized gravimetric soil moisture, extractable inorganic nitrogen, total and organic carbon and nitrogen, and chloroform labile carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus soil samples collected from riparian areas along streams in Coweeta Long Term Ecological Research Site in North Carolina.

Black Bear Research CenterReviewed and interpreted scientific data of bear behaviors on surveillance cameras to determine the required observation frequency for triaxial accelerometry to accurately model bear activity.

Department of Biology- Worked in a team of 3 for the Virginia Wine Board, to explore using nematodes as a natural pesticide against the grape root borer, Vitacea polistiformis, an agricultural pest. - Performed DNA polyamorous chain reaction extraction techniques to identify the biogeodiversity of nematodes living in the soil.

Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center- Assisted in field collection, identification, and measurement of mussels from the Clinch River watershed in Virginia.- Performed captive care techniques including water quality analysis, chemical testing, and chamber preparation for Villosa iris and the federally endangered species, Epioblasma capsaeformis.
