CurrentCoordinated with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to navigate to various wildlife refuge plots across Texas and Oklahoma using Field Maps. Operated pickup trucks and four-wheel-drive vehicles across diverse terrains. Collaborated on field data collection at monitoring sites using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning (TLS) and point intercept sampling, recording ecological data such as coarse woody debris (CWD) count, vegetation types, and fuelbed and litter depth. Managed the offloading, processing, and export of LiDAR data using Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS, ensuring data accuracy and file integrity. Recorded and uploaded data into monitoring databases using Field Maps and Survey123, following standard reporting procedures.
