Experienced in quality regulation and methods used in aquatic research. I have a drive to mitigate, recover, and protect the environments around us. I am passionate about systems, how they operate, the “what ifs,” fixing them, and anything else that could be involved. At my current place of employment, I am the go-to employee for investigations, process changes, input for how our business partners can improve and I savor the challenge. I want to learn and grow and perform to the best quality I possibly can. I currently work with a lot of data, mostly for trending or for my boss’s presentations (using Excel) and interpreting data into an understandable visual for the employees of other departments is a fulfilling task with unique challenges and satisfying payoff (accomplishment and business production wise).

Research

The Effect of Conformity Bias on Group Observational Research

Estimated the deer population at Kennesaw Mountain for effective Dept. of Natural Resources Population Control (and how many hunting passes can be assigned each year)

Density of the deer population present in different areas of Kennesaw Mountain

Identified that different personalities that make up a group can have an effect on the results of observational research

Showed that data collected by inexperienced observers does not cause significant variations in results compared to an expert observer and a single observer

This has become a yearly observational project and allows for greater data collection every year through future groups of Ecology students. Being able to have greater confidence in the cunts from amateur observers means faster data collection, larger data sets, and more accurate results.
