What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role applying GIS and field research to conservation-focused projects, with collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and clear paths for professional growth.

I am an environmental scientist with strong expertise in GIS, field sampling, and data analysis, focused on producing actionable information for conservation and resource management.

I have conducted geospatial and ecological research at Sam Houston State University and in field projects across diverse environments, designing GIS workflows, mentoring teams, and ensuring high-quality data collection.

My experience includes publishing and presenting scientific findings, managing large datasets with ArcGIS and R, and applying GPS and geospatial technologies to environmental risk modeling and biological sampling.

I am committed to practical, stakeholder-focused science, process improvement, and delivering professional reports and presentations that support conservation and sustainable development.
