Youth Field Crew Manager
-
Oct 2022 - Present
I am currently the manager of The Watershed Project's youth development program, the Green Collar Corps (GCC). GCC serves 5-9 young adults from the East Bay, aiming to support their personal and professional growth in the environmental sector. As the first "official" Field Crew Manager for the GCC program, I have been tasked with developing processes for: recruitment, onboarding, scheduling, timecards, and monthly training sessions for incoming interns. In order to match interns with projects that align with their goals and interests, I consistently communicate with staff across the organization to better understand their projects' needs. In addition to my supervisory role, I also maintain grant records for the internship program in accordance with established guidelines and submittal schedules. Show less

My main job responsibilities in the School and Family Programs department were to develop and deliver in-house and outreach museum programming for elementary and middle schools in the Bay Area. With the shift to online classes, the role also shifted to include virtual K-8 curriculum development. The Lawrence’s STEM programming heavily focuses on hands-on exploration and scaffolding scientific inquiry into learning.

As the company’s primary contact in the field, I coordinated with field technicians, subcontractors, and regulators to perform groundwater, dust, and soil sampling, monitoring well installation, and oversight of activities while on site. I also assisted our Senior Geologist with site investigations and remediation efforts. Post-field work, I analyzed field data and prepared sampling reports for clients and regulators. I was also occasionally tasked with civic permit applications, map drafting, and other administrative tasks. Show less
