I completed my undergraduate studies in 2013 (B.S., Environmental Sciences) and graduate degree in 2017 (M.S., Hydrology) from California State University, Chico. Where the topic of my research was to investigate the effect of metal-based coagulants on the sedimentation of fine grained sediments and heavy metals.Throughout my professional career I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by brilliant individuals at both the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and The Sierra Fund. My work experience has allowed me to develop the technical and managerial capabilities to perform efficiently and diligently while maintaining the upmost scientific integrity. I enjoy working outdoors in both rural and urban environments as well as a dynamic office setting and enjoy being part of an effective team. Most importantly I believe in making a difference and contributing to the community by conducting quality research on pertinent land and water resource management issues.
