As a Water Resources Engineer, my work involves the design and permitting of dam removals, fish passage systems, green infrastructure, and a wide variety of other water resources and environmental engineering projects.

Amherst, MA

Thousands of low-head dams and road crossings may be found along streams and rivers in the U.S. While large dams and dam removals have repeatedly made headlines over the past few years, these smaller examples of river infrastructure pose a serious challenge to fish passage and the overall health of lotic ecosystems. As funding and support become available.

Providence, Rhode Island

As an intern, I conducted sampling of multiple recreational water bodies to determine the presence of harmful algal blooms, and assisted senior engineers in dam inspections and inspections of completed dam removal projects. In the office, I assisted with the development of AutoCAD drawings and documents for permitting, as well as revisions to proposals and.

Assisted students in understanding concepts in physics and in using these concepts to solve problems.

Syracuse, New York Area

Helped investigate the microbiological communities of constructed vernal pools and conducted a personal project to investigate the hydrochemistry of these pools and determine the major source of their water. Results suggested that these constructed pools were most heavily influenced by overland flow (i.e., runoff).

Assisted other students with concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, and basic mathematics. Group sizes ranged from 1-15 students.

Manlius, New York

Tended plants and equipment and worked in sales. Helped customers select plants based on aesthetics and site conditions, and diagnosed plant problems brought to us by customers. Assisted with large landscaping projects and with local deliveries.
