Welcome
I am a consulting scientist providing reliable services in data collection and analytics, as well as both computer and field-based environmental research. I specialize in water sciences, including skills and experience in water quality, hydrology, and aquatic ecology.
My experience is varied and includes:
water quality and environmental pollutants
lentic and lotic ecology, including trophic dynamics and invasive species
data management, including data extraction, big data, and organization
hydrologic connectivity and sediment loading from roads and trails
NEPA compliance, including environmental assessments and scientific reporting
data analytics and reporting for a varied audience, including managers, members of the public, lawmakers, and peer-reviewed publication
data collection and field-based research in tough environments

January 2024
Over the past few years I have been expanding my client base and the types of projects I am able to take on thanks to the support of several collaborators and contractors in the Pacific Northwest. I have continued to survey algae and macrophytes annually on the Klamath River, as well as leading fieldwork efforts on road sediment surveys in California.
November 2021
I wrapped up my MS in spring 2021 (publication in progress) and started accepting contracts as an environmental researcher and data scientist in the Klamath Basin at the start of 2021. I work with Tribal agencies and scientists in the Upper Klamath Lake and Klamath River to wrangle and analyze data for water quality projects. Additionally, I have been conducting fieldwork on the Klamath River in support of projects investigating aquatic algae and macrophytes, including toxic algae surveys.
I am currently working on a contract basis and seeking additional roles in teaching, data visualization, and environmental research and fieldwork.
July 2020
I have been earning an MS at the University of Montana as I study metal contaminants in the Clark Fork River. Now, I am looking for a job! I am seeking a position in the sciences to contribute to projects in water quality, resource management, and data science.
