Frederick, Maryland, United States

-Independently surveyed 1,100 feet of river length, prepared a technical report, and presented findings at the NPS Spotlight Event to support stream monitoring efforts at Monocacy National Battlefield.-Analyzed hydrological and geospatial data by using Excel and ArcGIS to construct stream profiles, classify stream type, interpret hydrological changes, quantify stream morphology and map water resources in order to advise staff on appropriate management strategies. -Assisted ongoing projects such as post fire vegetation monitoring, pollinator surveying, and water quality testing.

-Independently designed a project to characterize the flow regime of ephemeral streams in the Southwestern US, for which I was recognized as the senior honors scholar. Presented findings at AGU Conference 2021.-Acquired 60+ year daily streamflow records for four gages, calculated three annual metrics for each gage and interpreted hydrological changes by plotting time series in Excel.
