   personal_statement: I started my career with USGS in 2021 as a Hydrologic Technician
     with the Colorado Water Science Center in Durango. My career started with the
     Department of Interior (DOI) in 2019, as an Assessment Inventory and Monitoring
     (AIM) seasonal crew member. Once the season finished I and generated GIS/Esri
     maps for fire monitoring. I worked out of the BLM Gunnison field office. I was
     promoted to an AIM crew lead out of the San Lewis Valley BLM office in 2020.
     These skills lead me to Conservation Legacy out of Durango, CO where I became
     a Watershed Monitoring lead. I worked on the Verde River, AZ; Escalante River,
     UT; Dolores River, CO; and the Gila River, AZ evaluating and monitoring river
     health. Before Colorado, I worked a handful of environmental related positions
     studying; forest tree health, permaculture farm in Nicaragua, fishery habitat
     restoration, and educating the public as a forest service ranger. I have always
     been fascinated with science and data so working with USGS is a triumph.
