As a tutor I have used many different skills to improve my communication of difficult and confusing topics. I have written practice questions and created practice exams for students over topics that they discussed in class. Additionally, I have recreated and reviewed lectures that students may have not been present for.

As a lab teaching assistant I am present in all labs during the given week to help with learning in lab lectures. With this role I answer questions and offer guidance for the students, but I also assist the leading of labs alongside the professor. I am also tasked with the grading of all of the students labs (about 60 students a semester) and providing feedback. I have had the honor of being awarded teaching assistant of the year during both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.

This was a summer long research position that began with a ten day experience at a research station about two hours off the coast of Belize. Doing the fieldwork in on this small motu I gained a ton of experience in various surveying techniques such as RTK, LiDAR, various wave data collection, and drone imaging. For the rest of the summer I worked on data analysis including a sediment analysis, Agisoft Metashape layering from drone imaging, and an extensive python analysis for all of the various wave data. At the completion of the summer position I got the opportunity to present all of my findings with an academic poster during a research symposium.

During my internship at Maine Geological Survey, I worked mostly on the Maine Beach Mapping Project. I used a Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTKGPS) to collect dune and high waterline measurements at 42 beaches along Maine's coastline. These measurements were then analyzed using GIS in ArcPro and compared to previous data to see how erosion is affecting Maine's coast.
