What I'm looking for

I'm looking for field-based environmental or conservation work where I can contribute to biological monitoring, restoration, specimen identification, and ecosystem research while continuing to build hands-on ecology experience.

I've supported freshwater and wetland ecosystem research at Lycoming College's Clean Water Institute, including a snapping turtle bioindicator project investigating heavy metal pollution at Robert Porter Allen Natural Area.

I collect and identify specimens, conduct biological monitoring, use mark-recapture and wildlife radio telemetry methods, and document fieldwork through presentations and site metrics. I've also maintained Rider Park through invasive plant identification, weeding, planting, and ecosystem upkeep.

Through Texas Conservation Corps, I've completed environmental restoration work in demanding field conditions, including wetland planting, trail work, GPS-based work-zone measurement, and team-based site projects.
