At HDR Environmental, Operations, and Construction, I worked with teams of biologists and archaeologists on projects of various sizes, for a wide array of clients in defense, wind, electric, postal, and gas. I provided geospatial support to project managers, field data collectors, data analysts, and report writers. I maintained a fleet of sub-meter GPS units. Clients were private (NV Energy, XCEL, IREA, CDOT, BNSF, Acciona) and federal (NAVFAC (Navy), Army, USPS, Army National Guard, US… Show more At HDR Environmental, Operations, and Construction, I worked with teams of biologists and archaeologists on projects of various sizes, for a wide array of clients in defense, wind, electric, postal, and gas.

During the winters of '09-'10 and '10-'11, I worked as a ski and snowboard instructor at Northstar, in the Lake Tahoe area. I taught private and group lessons to students aged 4 and up.

For three semesters during my graduate career I worked as a Teaching Assistant for the course "Introduction to Physical Geography." I taught labratory sections, wrote and graded tests, graded weekly assignments, held office hours, and assigned grades for 35-50 students per semester.

As a Research Assistant at the University of Arizona, I performed scientific research under Dr. Stephen Yool in the Department of Geography and Development. I conducted a wildfire hazard prediction experiment for the Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico. The experiment required two summers of field work, during which I trained and led paid undergraduate workers in fire fuel, topographic, and vegetation data collection. I then used GIS and satellite image processing software to attempt… Show more As a Research Assistant at the University of Arizona, I performed scientific research under Dr. Stephen Yool in the Department of Geography and Development.

The experiment required two summers of field work, during which I trained and led paid undergraduate workers in fire fuel, topographic, and vegetation data collection. I then used GIS and satellite image processing software to attempt to predict wildfire risk across the Preserve. I published a poster, "Developing A Fire Hazard Potential Map for the Valles Caldera National Preserve," for the Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting, Denver, CO, 2005 Show less
