OBJECTIVE

Obtain a position with a company where I can utilize my vast educational and professional experience in GIS, Remote

Sensing, Environmental and Earth Sciences

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Proven ability to scientifically analyze and integrate data from multiple sources

Extensive knowledge of GIS, hyperspectral, multispectral, LiDAR, and AirSAR imagery and analysis

Experience with GIS includes environmental modeling, programming, database management, GPS, and network

analysis

RELATED EXPERIENCE

Thesis Research, UNC Charlotte, Dept. of Geography and Earth Sciences, 2009-Present

“Variable Reflectance Properties of the Blue Dragon Lava Flow, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve:

Geochemical Variation, Eruptive Processes, and Weathering Controls”

Used Airborne AVIRIS and AirSAR data acquired for Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho, to determine

causes of spectral variability in the “Blue Dragon” basalt flow

Mapped discrete intra-flow geochemical differences caused by magmatic differentiation in a shallow dike-fed

eruptive system using 224 band hyperspectral AVIRIS data

Collected AirSAR data to map surface roughness, which was used as an image classification constraint for flow

morphology and corresponding spectral responses

Conducted image processing and data analysis, as well as hydrologic flow accumulation models, in ArcGIS and solar

irradiance models to assess possible contributions to non-uniform weathering processes to spectral variability

Presented research findings at the 2010 AGU conference in San Francisco

Environmental Scientist, Mogensen Mitigation, Inc., Charlotte, NC, 2011-Present

Worked as lead environmental scientist for stream and wetland mitigation projects

Prepared site-specific maps in a GIS for use in project planning and illustration for mitigation banking prospectuses

and full-delivery proposals

Performed detailed geospatial analysis for clients requesting market analyses for proposed stream and wetland

mitigation banks

Created customized geospatial databases for enhanced in-house work flow and efficient data communication

between contractors and regulatory agencies

Successfully managed a variety of complicated tasks and projects exhibiting overlapping temporal relationships

Internship, EarthMark Mitigation Services, LLC, Concord, NC, 2009-2011

Monitored and addressed problems with stream and wetland mitigation projects

Collected rain gauge data and stream stage gauge data

Installed precipitation gauges, stream stage gauges, and groundwater hydrology gauges

Performed bank stabilization Best Management Practices (BMP's)

Prepared annual monitoring reports for multiple projects

Independent Remote Sensing Research, UNC Charlotte, 2007-2008

Lead student research group in a remote sensing study of the Mangrove biomass on Long Key, FL

Analyzed LiDAR and IKONOS data from 2006 to assess the biophysical properties of white, red, and black mangrove

species on Long Key

Conducted research with intent to improve remote sensing techniques of mangroves and to serve as a tool to extract

vital ecological information from the regions of interest

Presented research findings at the 2008 Southeastern GSA Conference in Charlotte, NC

Presented research findings at the 2008 UNC-Charlotte undergraduate research fair and won 3rd place in physical

science division
