Welcome! Thanks for being here. I’m an environmental scientist and I’m passionate about collaborating with people to monitor, restore, and better understand aquatic ecosystems. I have several years of experience monitoring water quality, collecting (legally defensible) data, assessing risk exposure, conducting habitat assessments, and managing restoration projects throughout the Pacific Northwest.

In 2024, I completed my Master’s degree at the University of Idaho in Environmental Science, where my research focused on monitoring tire pollution in rivers throughout Idaho and Washington. In 2024, I began working as an Environmental Scientist for Genwest Systems to contract with NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration division. After NOAA became a target for DOGE, I transitioned out of the federal government and accepted a job as an Environmental Biologist and Planner for the Coquille Indian Tribe.

My long-term career goal is to leverage my experiences to continuously learn, adapt, and improve ecosystems by connecting with stakeholders in coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest.
