What I'm looking for

I'm eager to put my knowledge into actionable insights and contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced team, supporting high-quality data management and well-informed decisions.

At Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, I support and coordinate NOAA Marine Recreational Information Program surveys, working with state agencies on data collection and quality.

I manage databases using Oracle APEX, Oracle SQL Developer, and SAS, and produce data summary reports, presentations, and training documents. I also conduct interviewer trainings and provide application support, testing, and deployment.

At Virginia Institute of Marine Science, I supported studies on ocean acidification, marine parasites, and disease, including sample processing and data analysis.

Earlier, I assisted with a worldwide shoreline mosaic using ArcGIS at CSTARS and monitored water quality at Miami Waterkeeper. I hold a Master of Professional Science Degree in Marine Conservation from University of Miami.
