Managed all laboratory procedures concerning research of the littoral system of a near shore berm. Research included collecting grab samples, bed-load samples and suspended load samples.Managed, hired, and educated personnel on laboratory procedures including: splitting, wet-sieving, dry-sieving, carbonate burns, suspended load filtration, and gINT data input.Presented preliminary data at GSA 2017 Seattle.Currently working toward publication of technical report.

Monitored effectiveness of artificial berm and associated beach changes through remote sensing, field collection, and in-situ measurement for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. -conducted pre-assessment study in preparation for field work. Assessment included analyzing aerial imagery, elevation data, historical photographs, public records, and historical report to determine site geology, topography, history, and sensitive areas.-Organized field research and managed personnel. Included: data/sample collections, log books, quality assurance, training, scheduling, and budget.-Reviewed and conducted quality control on all suspended, bedload, and sediment data. -Used aerial imagery to preform a spectral classification within ER Mapper and ArcGIS. Correlated results to historical beach fill areas and near-shore berm processes. Currently working on publishing this research.

Created and ESRI object-based classification model to detect vegetation phases and calculate density.Worked in a team to create and review all deliverables. Presented research to a panel of professionals including the BLM, Idaho Fish and Game, Forest Service, and NASA.

I hypothesized that surface roughness calculations could be used to determine relative age and identify landslides. To justify this hypotheses I used various analysis processes within ESRI products. The resulting project was presented at GSA Rocky Mountain Section Meeting in 2015.

Oversaw other T.As work, provided personal tutoring for students, create quiz/test questions, graded writing assignments and addressed student complaints.

Assisted in teaching fluvial geomorphological concepts to entry level class. Created field trip focusing on how to calculate mean annual discharge through sediment size and cross profile, as well as how to visually identify fluvial features such as sinks and sources.

Provided personal tutoring for students while providing additional teaching support for professor. This position also allowed me to improve my knowledge of basic ESRI functions while trouble shooting more difficult processes.

Perfect Customer Service (as shown by secret shopper surveys), consistent perfect balancing, organization and development of filing system, perfect adherence to rules and regulations, finding product need and establishing product desire, great attention to detail, and worked well in a team as well as with little supervision.

Produced and implemented tours for park visitors, created and preformed a living history program for park visitors, produced program for riparian habitat health assessment, created a study of the weathering rate of rocks, maintained park and all site facilities,

Taught general geology concepts to students, graded papers, assisted in producing a new online class.
