Fieldwork at the intersection of land, water, and community. From coral reefs in Bermuda to riparian corridors in the Pacific Northwest — restoring ecosystems through science, stewardship, and careful observation.
I work at the intersection of ecological fieldwork, data science, and land management — studying and restoring the systems that sustain communities of plants, fish, and people. My background spans marine benthic ecology in Bermuda, coastal watershed research in Virginia, salmon habitat restoration in Washington, and riparian forest management in King County.
Whether I'm conducting SCUBA reef surveys, running GIS analyses on watershed health, or leading crews in invasive plant removal, I bring the same approach: careful observation, rigorous documentation, and a commitment to ecological outcomes that last.
Currently with the City of Redmond Parks Department, I focus on sustainable land stewardship while pursuing restoration leadership opportunities in the public lands sector.
Managing vegetation, irrigation, and stewardship of public fields, facilities, and landscaped areas. Leading crew members in safety protocols and best management practices. Advancing sustainable park operations through pollinator habitat creation, water conservation, and waste reduction initiatives.
Conducted forest and riparian surveys including tree boring, vegetation assessments, and waterway mapping to inform ecological restoration planning. Analyzed soil nutrient and water quality data to guide species selection and soil amendment. Managed chemical inputs across nursery operations — fertilizers, herbicides, and sanitation treatments applied to environmental best practices.
Conducted SCUBA benthic surveys monitoring reef community composition, disease prevalence, and larval recruitment at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences. Performed water quality assessments and 3D photogrammetry reef mapping. Contributed to coral physiology lab work including husbandry, tissue processing, and incubation experiments.
Implemented salmon habitat restoration projects across ecologically sensitive sites, ensuring adherence to ecological plans, safety protocols, and project timelines. Applied mechanical, manual, chemical, and cultural methods to invasive plant management. Developed GIS assets to document site conditions, hazards, and project progress.
Monitored soil and water metrics to assess coastal ecosystem health using peristaltic pumps, grab samples, soil probes, and passive samplers over three years. Conducted waterway testing and GIS analyses to evaluate development impacts on a culturally significant lake and surrounding forest. Presented findings and management recommendations to policymakers. Propagated over 1,500 native plants from seed, cutting, and tissue culture.
Riparian and forest restoration, invasive species management, native planting, salmon habitat work, and pollinator corridor development across Pacific Northwest landscapes.
ArcGIS Pro, QField, and ArcPy workflows for vegetation mapping, site documentation, waterway analysis, and field data collection. Currently pursuing UW GIS Certificate.
Tree boring, benthic SCUBA surveys, vegetation transects, soil probing, peristaltic sampling, and water quality assessment across marine, coastal, and terrestrial environments.
Coral reef community composition monitoring, disease assessment, larval recruitment, 3D photogrammetry mapping, and coral physiology laboratory techniques.
Long-term ecosystem monitoring, soil and water quality datasets, statistical analysis, and translating findings into actionable management recommendations for land managers and policymakers.
WSDA Public Operator Licensed (Aquatics Endorsement). Herbicide application, fertilizer management, nursery sanitation, and integrated pest management according to environmental best practices.
Forest and riparian survey work including tree boring and vegetation assessments to inform large-scale ecological restoration planning in King County. Soil nutrient sampling and water quality analysis guided species selection and soil amendment protocols across restoration plots.
SCUBA-based benthic surveys tracking reef community composition, coral disease, and larval recruitment at BIOS. Applied 3D photogrammetry to create high-resolution structural reef maps. Results presented to local community stakeholders to inform management and conservation priorities.
Led implementation of salmon habitat restoration projects across multiple ecologically sensitive sites. Applied integrated invasive plant management strategies — mechanical, manual, chemical, and cultural — and developed GIS assets to document site conditions, hazards, and restoration progress over time.
Three-year study monitoring soil and water metrics in a culturally significant coastal watershed. Conducted GIS analyses to evaluate development impacts on key water sources. Findings and management recommendations presented to policymakers. Propagated 1,500+ native plants as part of active restoration efforts.
