Leading a team of data scientists in trying to solve the most pressing conservation challenges across New York State.

• Published and presented Long Island Road Stream and Tidal Crossing spatial prioritization analysis & web mapping tool• Conducted statewide strategy mapping prioritization to address riverine and coastal flooding across New York State for Climate Adaptation Team • Completed Leadership Development Program through Cambridge Judge Business School

• Assessed the condition of NYC Department of Parks & Recreation marshes and their vulnerability to sea level rise to inform restoration and protection strategies• Prioritized parcels for land protection (and potential undevelopment) in the Peconic Estuary using ecological and climate change specific criteria• Helped design and develop an internal Strategy Assessment Tool to assess potential ecological and people benefits for different land protection projects• Created StoryMap tool for Saugatuck River Watershed to explore nitrogen loading scenarios and potential solutions for reducing nitrogen pollution

• Directed Long Island Chapter GIS spatial analysis projects and databases• Modeled loads and sources of nitrogen for Peconic Estuary and North Shore Long Island subwatersheds and authored final reports on findings• Provided mapping and technical writing support for the Long Island Sound Ecological Assessment• Trained staff on use of GIS and available data resources, tools, and servers

• Co-ran participatory workshops to create a spatially explicit and visually compelling set of “alternative futures” to inform planning processes, in light of climate change, urbanization, and other stressors in the region • Modeled land use change with Python to help develop habitat conservation strategy for U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service• Coordinated with government agencies to acquire data for use in landscape suitability analyses

• Interviewed fishermen and oversaw data collection methods for California’s Marine Life Protection Act Initiative • Led analysis optimizing ecological and socioeconomic goals to aid in the design of a Marine Protected Area network in Southern California• Evaluated the agricultural production capacity of the Ventura County (CA) landscape to develop potential crop output scenarios to meet local food demand• Helped create web tool to query key salmon datasets and track benchmarks towards salmon conservation

Produced accurate, high-quality maps showing city street features for planning and asset management

• Restructured the program’s statewide soil survey database to improve its utility for geological research projects

• Provided research and writing support for a commercial offshore wind farm Draft Environmental Impact Statement
