Postgraduate Student

• Sep 2017 - Sep 2018

Research Intern

• Jun 2016 - Aug 2016

- Collaborated with landscape architects to develop a project researching the efficacy of artificial floating habitat to restore fish populations in the Milawaukee River- Collected and identified freshwater zooplankton species using a plankton tow and dichotomous key- Managed and conducted statistical analyses on the data using R statistical software- Produced a written report and presentation on the findings to stakeholders and grant donors

Guest Student Researcher

• Oct 2015 - May 2016

- Collaborated with the Hudson River Foundation to develop a model to determine the optimal locations for oyster restoration given channel deepening in the Hudson River Estuary - Determined a method to link the individual growth model to a population growth model - Assessed and quantified the effects of channel deepening on both the individual and population scale through a series of simulations

Summer Student Fellow

• Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

- Developed and conducted a research project investigating the effects of channel deepening on oyster productivity in the Hudson River Estuary - Determined an appropriate growth model from literature review and selected sites to model changes in productivity - Coded and ran the model in R statistical software using data collected from the study sites

Student Historical Researcher

• Feb 2015 - May 2015

- Used library and database resources to gather information on perceptions of species abundance from colonial settlers in New England- Provided weekly reports summarising information

Coastal Biology Flagship Fellow

• Jun 2014 - Aug 2014

- Sponsored by Coastal Biology Flagship Program at the University of North Florida- Assisted in data collection and data entry for various projects at the site. - Conducted a guided research project exploring the effects of harvesting on oyster population density which included writing a research proposal and creating a poster to display the findings - Applied statistical tools such as R and Excel for data analysis and utilized GIS ArcMap to create a map to display the study sites

Aquarium Technician

• Oct 2012 - May 2013

- Assisted in teaching and coordinating the marine biology club at Paul Cuffee High School. - Taught students scientific concepts such as observation, development of hypotheses, implementation of an experiment, and presentation of results through various activities including observing live fish, dissecting fish, recording fish movement through a slow-motion camera, and calculating speed and conversion ratios.- Demonstrated biological concepts through presentations, worksheets, and dissections. - Assisted students in distinguishing credible sources for research and creating a guide for an animal with the gathered facts. - Maintained fish tanks using both electric and non-electric water pumps.
