During my undergraduate at UCSC I worked with the UCSC Arboretum Director of Plant Collections and Research Brett Hall. During those years, I gained experience working with native and exotic plant species, and also produced a 15 year update to the native plant management plan written by Grey Hayes. This work was ultimately a 55 page garden evaluation under the advice of Brett Hall and Restoration Ecology professor Dr. Karen Holl. This essay incorporated the Arboretum's devotion to Native Plant Conservation in California's Central Coast, as well as offer future management plans for the garden, its surrounding areas, and the student programs which are affiliated with it. The essay is still an open work, and through continual work with Brett Hall, student employees, and the UCSC Natural Reserve, ongoing and future management plans are to be derived from aerial photography and videography for GIS implications. Following the completion of my capstone, I took a 7 week field course in the Fall of 2015 in the UC Natural Reserves focused on research methods, data analysis, and public speaking. I graduated UCSC in 2016 and worked for 6 weeks in the Spring of 2016 as a field assistant to PhD candidate Josie Lesage in Karen Holl's lab. I have since worked full time for Central Coast Wilds and Ecological Concerns Inc. as a nursery assistant and as a crew foreman, which installs native landscapes and stewards open space regions between Monterey and San Francisco, and extending into the greater San Jose area. I was able to apply my landscape knowledge and leadership skills for the UC Natural Reserve System in a 6 week research deployment to collect ecological data for wildfire ecology studies in 2021, then gained the CERP recognition as well as attaining a C-27 Landscape Contractor's License. After 5 years with CCW and ECI, I joined the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County's Public Access Department. The Land Trust is a small but dynamic group who are devoted to stewarding land, re-connecting fragmented landscapes, and providing public access to some of Santa Cruz County's most beautiful and diverse landscapes. I have recently been promoted to Acting Access Manager, where I support the Director of Public Access in managing day-to-day field operations, equipment and fleet maintenance, and landscape construction and maintenance.

Listed skills include Ecology, Data Analysis, Research, Plant Identification, and 16 others.
