Designed projects linking water quality and riparian songbirds by measuring the availability and consumption of aquatic insects. Managed multiple projects by budgeting funds and ordering supplies, training 4 field assistants, scheduling field work hours, supervising data collection and entry, and serving as the primary contact with external laboratory services. Independently processed and analyzed environmental samples in the lab, including troubleshooting and optimization of protocols. Programmed data standardization, quality control, error correction, and statistical analyses using R. Prepared maps that visualized and analyzed spatial components of field sites for presentations using ArcGIS Pro. Prepared grant proposals leading to the receipt and budgeting of 2 research awards totaling $4500. Advocated for public engagement with research through interactions with ecological tour groups, school groups and educators.
