   personal_statement: I am a Hydrologic Technician at the U.S. Geological Survey
     in the New York Water Science Center in Coram, NY.  I have spent 3 years with
     the USGS focused on maintaining a real-time tide and continuous water-quality
     network throughout Long Island.  This network supports advance flood warning
     for emergency managers, tidal wetland loss research, monitoring for hypoxia
     and ecological health, guiding TMDLs, and sediment flux studies.  I am also
     currently involved in Microbial Source Tracking research to assess the geographical
     and biological origins of fecal contamination to Long Island embayments and
     in developing studies to better understand the occurrence of microplastics in
     the environment.
