What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply wildlife research, GIS, camera-trap analysis, and fieldwork experience to conservation, ecological research, habitat restoration, or natural resource management work.

I've supported wildlife conservation research at the University of Florida and through the Smithsonian-affiliated Snapshot USA 2025 project, processing camera-trap datasets, identifying species, and deploying and maintaining cameras with GPS navigation. My honors thesis used camera traps, GIS analysis, and generalized linear models to examine feral swine occupancy across wet and dry seasons in eastern Alachua County.

I've also contributed ecological data management for camera-trap research in Madagascar, conducted coffee-plant field research in Costa Rica, and supported molecular biology research through bioinformatics at the Haarith Lab. Through Alachua Conservation Trust, I trained in habitat restoration, invasive species control, prescribed fires, trail maintenance, and field equipment use.
