• Managed projects for City of Tracy, BART Regional Anti-Terrorism Law Enforecment Project, and Emergency Medical Services Authority in Oklahoma• Developed Arc Toolboxes and scripts in python and SQL to mass update data and improve both spatial and tabular accuracy of digital maps built for emergency response Computer-Aided Dispatch systems in CA, NY, TN, AL, OK and TX • Developed quality data testing methodologies for 911 systems

• Studied shifts in population distributions of small mammals along transects of the Sierra Nevadas• Mapped connectivity and extinction of species in the 20th century using R, ArcGIS, and Circuitscape• Wrote scripts to automate spatial analysis tasks including batch raster clipping, generating distance matrices of Euclidian and actual distances by integrating digital elevation models.

• Used Spatial modeling of environmental data to analyze evolutionary trends of vertebrates• Utilized python, ArcGIS, and DivaGIS to generate ecological niche models• Tested and generated data for iNaturalist and the Amphibiaweb iPhone and web applications• Created a qGIS tutorial used to teach scientists basic GIS functions at a bioinformatics conference at UC Berkeley and at University of Colorado, Boulder. Trained others in cartoDB and Georeferencing.

• Taught classes on Physical Science and Dinosaurs to kids ages 7-12• Created Lesson plans and modules to foster a sense of curiosity for children

• Studied mechanisms behind invasions of forest pathogens such as P. cinnamomi (sudden oak death), Pine Pitch Canker, and Heterobasidion spp. using molecular tools to understand their biology, ecology and epidemiology.• Instructed middle school students on basic mycology and lab safety• Field Work: Conducted transects and collected soil samples surrounding Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir• Labwork: Demonstrated proficiency in sterile technique, identifying select organisms with microscopes, pipetting, centrifuging, photospectroscopy, making pea broth and gel mediums for growth, soil DNA extraction, phenol extractions, plating specimens, culturing bacteria, running and analyzing PCRs.
