Curriculum Vitae¶
Foundational experiences¶
In my first career I worked as a seasonal wildland firefighter for the US Department of Interior's National Park Service as a forestry technician at the Saguaro National Park from 2002-2005.
During my Ph.D. program I worked as a Fire Management Specialist for the US Department of Agriculture's Forest Service in the Coronado National Forest Supervisor's Office from 2008-2012.
My graduate research focused on the applications of dendrochronology, restoration ecology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing, in watershed management and ecohydrology.
I used those data to analyze disturbance regimes and carbon in western forested ecosystems .
Working on new sensor and data types during my graduate program led to my current career in data science and geoinformatics.
