What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an environmental, soil science, watershed, or GIS role where I can apply field assessment, spatial analysis, and research experience to support practical land and water management.

I've supported the Natural Resources Conservation Service as a Soil Scientist Intern, conducting soil-health evaluations and helping identify and classify hydric soils during water-mounding events. At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, I've also completed field, soil science, plant genetics, water science, and meteorology research work.

I'm pursuing an MS in Geographic Information Systems after earning dual BS degrees in Environmental Science and Plant Biology with highest distinction. My thesis integrates spatial analysis, modeling, and policy review to evaluate constructed wetlands for nitrate removal, while my Soil Judging leadership has strengthened my soil morphology, classification, land-use interpretation, mentoring, and field-description skills.
