Education and Professional Development:
o Masters in Water Resource Management and Science (remote sensing,
multidisciplinary, and innovation focused), University of Idaho, 2010-
Current Achieved through a Full ride that included work and school funded
by a large NSF grant.
o Remotes sensing with applied physics / engineering (modeling)
o Became a Arc GIS and python programming specialist
o Managed and maintained sensitive equipment in the field and data
o Helped develop parts of NASA's 2009 innovation in American
Government-- METRIC (Mapping Evapotranspiration from Landsat via
Surface Energy Balance
o Bachelor of Biological Sciences, major in Biology with a minor in Botany,
Idaho State University, 2006-2010 Earned while working 20 hours a week.
o Deployed, maintained, and developed field experiments.
o Went through the whole grant process, from proposal to manuscript.
o Extremely knowledgeable but still willing to learn
Computer Literacy:
o Python Programming with and without ArcGis Modeling
o ERDAS (advanced knowledge)
o ArcGIS (advanced knowledge)
o Adobe & Adobe Live
o Excel with VB macro operations (advanced knowledge)
o R, SAS, JMP, Minitab, Matlab (statistical analysis package and some
coding)
o Image J, Envi (image analyzer)

o Java Script
Course Work (not full transcript):
Hydrology / Evapotranspiration, GIS - Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing - GIS
integration, Interdisciplinary Methods in Water Resources, Climatology,
Scientific Data Analysis with Computer Programming (Python), GIS
Programming (Python).
Master's Thesis Title: A EPSCoR Evapotranspiration and Energy Balance Flux
Site in Southern Idaho Supports Remote Sensing and Hydroclimate Modeling.
Work History:
o (12/10 - Current) Remote Sensing and Programming Research Assistant
(full ride) and now and employee of the University of Idaho- Moscow,
Idaho
o Used thermal band and other spectral bands on satellite images
to do advance calculations to obtain water use on a field my
field basis
o Worked in ArcGIS and ERDAS for mapping evapotranspiration from
landsat via surface energy balance: METRIC (remote sensing)
o Helped develop new algorithms and spectral profiles that were
needed to increase model accuracy
o Conducted field studies and developed Arc models to improve
model accuracy (master's thesis research)
o Applied METRIC evapotranspiration models to advise the state on
water rights (state contract)
o (10/08 - 12/10) Plant Physiologist Research Assistant, Idaho State
University- Pocatello, Idaho
o Helped with study design, field work and reporting results on
extensive studies. One study site with located at the DOE Idaho
Nuclear Laboratory. Security Clearance was needed.
o (09/09 - 05/10) Greenhouse Technician, Idaho State University-
Pocatello, Idaho
o Helped to manage an extensive plant collection and clone
replicates that were used in the plant labs.
o Worked my way into college by doing flooring, roofing, and being a
handyman. I can do custom fabrication such as solar panel arrays and
warming frames along with other types of innovative engineering.
