4-H Afterschool Program Educator

• Dec 2022 - Present

Clarkson University Libraries Employee

• Jan 2022 - Dec 2022

In this role, I am mainly responsible for taking inventory of the shelved book collection and inputting information into the online library program and excel. After inventorying each section of the library, a sheet is generated with each title, barcode, and call number of any books the library owns that were not counted in inventory. I am then responsible for finding the locations of as many books as possible on the list. Finally, I assist any patrons and students in the library with locating books or other library materials that they may need.

CSTEP Research Assistant

• May 2022 - Jul 2022

This experience was funded by the CSTEP program through CUPO (Community of Underrepresented Professional Opportunities) at Clarkson University. I had the opportunity to work on an independent research project involving computerized reconstruction of fragmented bones. I gained skills in 3D scanning, reconstruction of broken materials through the use of MeshLab, proficiency in writing, and communication when working with research volunteers. I worked under the mentorship of Dr. Alicia Grosso who is a part of the Department of Physical Therapy at Clarkson University. This research project consisted of a ten-week timeline to complete the research project, multiple assignments to stay on track with the project, seminars from alumni and graduate school workshops, and a final paper and poster presentation at Clarkson's Research and Project Showcase.

Adirondack Semester Student

• Aug 2021 - Dec 2021

I participated in the Adirondack Semester, where myself and thirteen other students spent the semester at Paul Smith's College in the Adirondack Park working on an Integrated Research Project titled, "A Comprehensive Aquatic Connectivity Restoration Plan for the St. Regis River Watershed." Our mentors for this project were Stephen Langdon and Dr. Abul Baki. In this project, I was responsible for mapping and identifying the ratings of culverts within the watershed and the variables that dictate these ratings, selecting culverts to visit for physical measurements, assisting with identifying the environmental, economic, and social impacts of culverts on the local community, helped write the culvert section of our final white paper, and offered suggestions and finalizations of the paper collectively.

Water Quality Intern

• May 2021 - Aug 2021

I had the privilege of working under the District Manager, Nichelle Swisher, at the Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District. In this position, I worked closely with coworkers on jobs like hydroseeding and mine surveying. I also completed multiple permits for culvert replacement within the county as well as Environmental Assessment Forms for the rerouting of snowmobile trails. The Lewis County District monitors five different stream gauges in the Black River, the Beaver River, and the Deer River. I was responsible for compiling and organizing data into tables and graphs that easily displayed the information. Besides data collection, I was involved with community education by designing a county fair booth for the district, and running the trivia contest for a local kayak/canoe fest. Finally, I began a project for evaluating the water quality of unassessed priority waterbodies/streams in Lewis County. I was able to create an evaluation for each waterbody based on the location including if the waterbody was sampleable. Using GIS, I created multi-layered maps on locations of road-stream crossings. Then, after traveling to each location I created a binder including photos, locations, and observations for each individual waterbody.
