   personal_statement: "My background is in research, recovery, and management of\
     \ western native fishes. In Utah I used capture-recapture techniques to estimate\
     \ abundance and survival of humpback chub, tracked reproduction of stocked razorback\
     \ sucker, and managed a project focused on monitoring and controlling non-native\
     \ fish.  In New Mexico, I monitored populations of two pupfish species, used\
     \ acoustic telemetry to track movements of gray redhorse and blue sucker in\
     \ a desert stream, determined current distribution of Rio Grande sucker and\
     \ chub, and worked cooperatively with other agencies to monitor several desert\
     \ fishes.  For my master\u2019s thesis I determined the habitats used by the\
     \ Ouachita darter and quantified the variation in the darter assemblage (9 species)\
     \ along a longitudinal gradient in the Ouachita River of Arkansas.  Additionally,\
     \ I participated in life cycle monitoring of pacific salmonids in northern California."
