   intro_statements:
   - I am a Research Ecologist with the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science
     Center in Corvallis, Oregon. My research focuses on the interactions among ecological
     processes, contaminant bioaccumulation, and effects on wild populations.

   personal_statement: My work specifically focuses on (1) the ecological factors
     regulating contaminant bioaccumulation and trophic transfer, with an emphasis
     on food web processes and contaminant cycling, (2) land use practices and ecosystem
     restoration effects on contaminant cycling through food webs, and (3) the sublethal
     effects of contaminants on individuals and contaminant-induced impairment to
     reproduction in the wild. My research is broadly applied across taxa - primarily
     fish and waterbirds, and habitat types - including lakes, freshwater wetlands,
     agricultural fields, and estuarine habitats.
