Deployed on fishing ships for 12 or more days per month, collecting data on the kept catch as well as bycatch and socioeconomic conditions regarding each trip. This included identifying each individual caught down to species, taking length measurements, extracting otoliths, and taking positional data. Furthermore, it included noting each trip's data in an accessible and accurate format to be sent to stakeholders in the area and beyond.

I aided in two different projects being conducted by the United States Geological Survey through the University of Toledo. The first of these involved using R Studio software to analyze homogeneity in Lake Sturgeon blood samples in order to assess their viability as a baseline for the Algonac and Port Huron areas. The second involved assessing the distribution of larval fish species caught in the St. Clair River System using ArcGIS Pro and R Studio Software. Furthermore, I gave a presentation on the findings of both projects both to the USGS team as well as various professionals at the official SEA Grant Symposium.

Canvassed a 5km stretch of shoreline nightly, identifying and assessing nesting Olive Ridley sea turtles. This process involved measuring carapace size, fin length, nest depth, number of eggs laid, and checking for identification tags. Furthermore, during the last night on the project we conducted a census of nesting females on the beach during a mass nesting event using transects.

Completed weekly maintenance and upkeep of reptile, arthropod, and rodent enclosures including disinfecting surfaces, replacing substrate, and feeding those in their care.

Studied the effects of sea level rise and pollution on a variety of freshwater and saltwater ecosystems within the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Tasks involved taking water samples, cataloging wildlife, and measuring a variety of indicators such as pH and water temperature. We also spent time examining how the changes in water quality and biodiversity in certain water sources affected both animal and human life around them.

Cleaned kennels and cat cages, sanitized equipment, bathed and groomed dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, and photographed cats for adoption profiles on the organization's website.
