Field Installation Technician

I am passionate about the outdoors.  My career has been focused on how we play outside and the impacts we have on the environment.  My background has allowed me to succeed in a number of different avenues, whether it is building weather stations on remote glaciers in Alaska to crunching data and writing technical documents in Boulder, CO.  I am passionate about being in the mountains and I have focused my entire education on how they are built and ultimately destroyed.  My Master's dissertation focused on the processes that control the snow accumulation and ice melt (ablation) on a glacier in Oregon and how that is controlled by the local meteorology.  Academia was not my calling, so I am looking to go back to my roots and get back into the outdoor gear industry.  I am a life-long skier, who has traveled the world with the goal of making that next clean turn.  I seek adventure in all aspects of life and I am hungry to learn.

-Utilized my scientific and hydrometeorological field experience to serve as a sensor expert for NEON's field deployment teams, helping minimize errors and uncertainties to provide the highest data products for both scientific and public communities
-Collaborated in multidisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and tradesmen to help construct a first of its kind continental-wide observatory
-Exercised my vast educational background to bridge the communication gaps between NEON’s various departments
-Created training and overview documents for a range of different backgrounds, including new hires, land owners, other NEON staff to understand -NEON’s sensor systems and their physical basis
-Deployed and helped improve NEON’s sensor systems at multiple locations throughout the US representing different regions of vegetation, land forms, climate, and ecosystems
-Developed and refined  sensor and tower infrastructure installation procedures

-Assessed Alaskan Glacier mass changes using multiple data sources
-Assembled and installed automated weather stations on remote glaciers
-Conducted snow surveys to determine snow depth and snow water equivalence on mountain glaciers in Oregon and Alaska
-Collected and analyzed meteorological and glaciological data for leadership and impact reports
-Created a first of its kind compilation of glacier mass-balance data from various published and unpublished sources for Alaska and implemented these data into a glacier database
-Modeled 21st century Alaskan glacier wastage using all available glacier mass-balance data and high resolution gridded climate data sets

Research Assistant

-Coordinated and led research teams to measure snow and ice mass balance on an Oregon glacier
-Obtained, analyzed, and interpreted meteorological data on an Oregon glacier to investigate how the local microclimate and surface energy balance influences a glacier's mass balance
-Correlated glacier meteorological data with local SNOTEL sites
-Conducted snow surveys to determine snow depth and snow water equivalence
-Fabricated, installed and maintained automated weather stations using Campbell Scientific data loggers, pyrgeometers, pyranometers, temperature/RH probes, anemometers, and sonic rangefinders
-Achieved measurements that were once thought impossible from previous researchers while saving more than $50,000.00 in research budget


-Instructed and lectured for both introductory and upper- level undergraduate to graduate level courses in geology, geophysics, and climatology
-Provided timely performance based feedback to more than 800 students
