Lead a five person crew sampling vegetation in a study of change across forest-meadow boundaries Recognized or used a taxonomic key to identify >200 species of grasses, sedges, forbs, and woody plants from forest and meadow habitats. Lead the crew through difficult terrain and conditions while ensuring the safety of the crew. Planned logistics around each our field stints while managing time and gear.

Lead week long inquiry based experiential environmental education for 4th -7th gradersDeveloped and assessed model-based science inquiry lessons and curriculum Connected schools in the Seattle area with IslandWood. Facilitated ecological and cultural enrichment activities for various age groups

Washington, D.C., Us

Ground truth-ed NASA satellite imagery looking for presence of exotic plants as well as fire history. Planned all of the logistics for our eight day backpacking trips twice a month working independently of a supervisor. Complied work logs were each trip documenting our days in the field. Organized and entered data into an access database with GPS coordinates associated with each plot. Travel and time cards were also managed by us. Coordinated a successful Search and Rescue on my last day in the field.

Developed and presented hands-on inquiry based science curriculum and activities to 5th -7th graders on complex natural and cultural systems in Northern California.Facilitated science curriculum in various settings from parks to wilderness areas. Lead hikes through old growth redwood forest, to tide pools, and through coastal dunes in various weather conditions.

Washington, D.C., Us

Sampled fire history and CBI plots in throughout the parks identifying plants to species, installing FMH plots and collected vegetation data following detailed protocols. Recorded environmental variables like fire weather and behavior on FMH plots in prescribed burns and on fire-use fires. Entered data in the FEAT database as well as quality checking others work. Took on added responsibilities and assisted other crew members in the completion of their tasks. Independently used statistical analysis to determine trends in Sequoia mortality within the Park.

Worked independently spatially analyzing remotely sensed burn severity imagery to select sampling sites for the summer field season and manage data sets in Access and Excel databases. Created a user guide for the GIS burn severity analysis. During the field season I worked with/ and lead a team sampling vegetation in burn areas, calculating a composite burn index (CBI), and using a dichotomous key to identify plants to species. Coordinate helicopter and plane transportation for the crew from sampling areas and supervised data collection and managed a large budget for fuel.Developed and Taught ArcPad and Terrasync databases to use with Trimble Recon GPS to locate, mark sample sites, and collect field data.

Identified viable populations of native plant species to send to the Kew Botanical Gardens in London England as part of the Seeds of Success Project. Scouted locations of specific native plant species and determined their viability by assessing the development of their seeds. After a population was determined viable they were marked with a GPS unit and seeds were sustainably harvested. Recorded daily growth of native grasses for the Eastern Sierra Sagebrush Steppe Native Seed Project in conjunction with University of California.
