• Eastford, Connecticut, United States

• Apprentice Forester

  • Jul 2020 - Aug 2020

  • Designed and conducted forest inventories to support silvicultural prescriptions to progress forest-wide goals of diversity and resilience while generating income from operations • Implemented the prescriptions by designing and laying out a timber sale, marking boundaries for sensitive ecological areas, and marking timber to be harvested • Analyzed stand level inventory data and create sale layouts in GIS • Designed and conducted forest inventories to support silvicultural prescriptions to progress forest-wide goals of diversity and resilience while generating income from operations • Implemented the prescriptions by designing and laying out a timber sale, marking boundaries for sensitive ecological areas, and marking timber to be harvested • Analyzed stand level inventory data and create sale layouts in GIS

• Graduate Research Assistant

  • Sep 2018 - Feb 2019

  To conduct literature reviews for visiting McCluskey Fellow, Dr. Helen Gichohi, on the topics of deforestation and financing forest restoration. This project was global in scope but sought out lessons that could be applied to helping African countries meet large global restoration commitments like the Bonn Challenge or AFR100.

• Forest Ecology Research Assistant

  • Jun 2017 - Nov 2017

  • Conducted several studies for the Ashton contributing to silviculture and forest ecology at Yale-Myers Forest, a 7,800-acre forest managed based on science to promote ecological and financially sustainable stewardship practices. • Projects specialized in regeneration ecology, monitoring long-term natural regeneration dynamics underneath mature forest canopy and regeneration responses to different silvicultural interventions.

• Research Assistant

  • Jan 2016 - Jul 2016

  My role as a research assistant was to focus on large acoustic data sets, auditing for social call types of interest, analyzing the social context and patterns of occurrence, using specially developed software for the program MatLab. The data were recorded using DTAGs and observational behavior logs. This project included a field season deploying the tags and conducting behavioral follows by boat in the Sarasota Bay.
