   abstract: Career ExperienceAs a Hydrologic Technician, my primary responsibility
     is the collection of continuous Surface Water and Water Quality Data within
     Pennsylvania. This data collection includes making regular discharge measurements,
     evaluation of data, and maintaining instruments and infrastructure within the
     streamgaging network across the state. A key component of the position has become
     staying on the leading edge of technological advancements in both data processing
     programs and data collection instrumentation. Running multi-disciplinary field
     trips throughout the state presents ever changing conditions and challenges.
     This requires finding creative solutions in infrastructure installation for
     each gage's unique characteristics, equipment needs, and stream dynamics.Prior
     to working with the USGS, I was as an Environmental-Scientific Technician in
     the Division of Water Quality Standards, for the Pennsylvania Department of
     Environmental Protection. This position expanded my knowledge of Surface Water
     Ecology. My duties included collection of discrete water quality data via multi-parameter
     sondes as part of the Continuous In-stream Monitoring (CIM) protocol; collection
     of macro-invertebrates, aquatic plants, and fish population surveys for Index
     of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scoring as part of the In-stream Comprehensive Evaluation
     (ICE) protocol; and habitat assessments, fish tissue analysis for consumption
     advisories, chemical/bacteriological sampling and radiation sediment sampling.
