I currently work in the conservation, recovery and public education of the imperiled native fishes of the desert southwest. We use advanced equipment to track fish assessing their habitat locales, population abundance and overall behavior.We present published reports for use to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and other necessary government or private organizations.

As a Research Biologist, I worked on several extensive projects involving the light environments and eye morphology of invertebrate species with specific focus on the order Lepidoptera. Dr. Ronald Rutowski mentored me in an abundance of field work and laboratory work. I also used multiple software analysis programs as well as all Microsoft Office applications to analyze data.Accomplishments:I have successfully coordinated and completed an experiment in which we collected Pipevine Swallowtail eggs and larvae, reared them in a lab setting, and tested adult mating habits. In addition, I carried out a personal experiment involving circadian rhythms and the effects on insect pupation. In the summer of 2015, I published an article for askabiologist.asu.edu that educates teachers, students and the general public about biology topics and stories.Publication: http://askabiologist.asu.edu/peppered-moth

As a Manager on Duty and Head Bartender, I supervised thirty employees in the functioning of one of the top rated restaurants in the Flagstaff downtown area. My responsibilities included scheduling, inventory/ordering of products, excellent customer service, bartending, cooking and assisting in the overall operation of the restaurant. Accomplishments:During my time at Collins, I was able to co-manage the restaurant into three consecutive years with highest annual revenue to date ($2.4 million). We also successfully put together the most local private parties and charity events that Collins has ever held.
