Hello! I'm an ecologist with more than 14 years of experience in natural resources. I have extensive experience assisting clients in navigating the federal Clean Water Act. I'm currently a senior project manager at BIO-WEST, Inc. in Logan Utah. I manage several restoration projects and lead a variety of wetland and botanical studies. I have a rich history of collaborating with agency personnel, and private land owners, I have and continue to work with volunteer groups to collect ecological data and I have experience facilitating working groups. My work involves conducting numerous wetland delineations in the arid west and intermountain west and successfully managing several Clean Water Act, Section 404 permitting projects. I am familiar with restoration and habitat management techniques and I have developed revegetation plans for a variety of wetland mitigation projects. With a background in plant ecology, I have conducted numerous botanical studies throughout the Intermountain West. I'm proficient with plant inventory and monitoring methods and have performed mapping and habitat assessments in terrestrial, riparian, and wetland systems. I have specialized experience conducting threatened and endangered plant species surveys and have led field surveys for Ute ladies’-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis). I hold a BS degree in restoration and conservation ecology from Utah State University. Thank you for visiting my profile.
