      I conducted juvenile salmon habitat assessments (woody debris, pebble counts, transects, slope, and riparian classification) and paired these results with minnow-trapping and electrofishing data to determine where juvenile Chinook and coho salmon reside in the Matanuska and Susitna watersheds of southcentral Alaska. I assisted with field data collection, data entry, analysis, and report writing. I also worked at the Susitna Salmon Center, an educational facility, maintaining fish tanks, giving guided nature walks, and talking with tourists about local wildlife. Show less
