 abstract: "In 1999, I attended Onondaga Community College where I studied Mathematics\
   \ and Science. While at O.C.C., I enrolled in a course in which I was able to\
   \ travel to San Salvador and study tropical marine biology. This sparked my interest\
   \ in marine biology and led me to continue my studies at SUNY Brockport. I graduated\
   \ in 2001 from SUNY Brockport with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Environmental Science\
   \ and Biology with a minor in Chemistry. After graduation, I began working at\
   \ a Soil and Water Conservation District as part of the Youth Corps and found\
   \ a new interest in freshwater ecology. My curiosity about environmental science\
   \ and the interactions between aquatic organisms and their environment continued\
   \ to grow and I decided to pursue a Master\u2019s degree in Biology with a concentration\
   \ in Aquatic Ecology/Toxicology again at SUNY Brockport. Since 2004, I have been\
   \ working as a Research Technician at the USGS Tunison Lab of Aquatic Science\
   \ in Cortland. NY. In my position I have the ability to assist researchers on\
   \ a variety of topics that include fish ecology, fish diet analysis, stream habitat\
   \ assessment, GAP analysis, Atlantic Salmon and Coregonid fish culture, and fish\
   \ physiology to name a few.I have worked at the Tunison Lab of Aquatic Science\
   \ in Cortland, NY for the past eight years as a biological science technician.\
   \ During that time I have assisted research scientists on various projects that\
   \ have ranged from habitat assessments, diet evaluations, simulation computer\
   \ modeling of the Great Lakes benthic organisms, toxicology and avoidance testing.\
   \ The first two years involved an intense field evaluation of lake sturgeon distribution\
   \ and habitat use in a northern tributary to the St. Lawrence River. I was then\
   \ assigned to assist multiple research scientists where I am still today on their\
   \ various research projects and play an important role in collecting the filed\
   \ data, inputing the raw data, analyzing the results and at times helping write\
   \ up the findings in a publication or a presentation."
