 abstract: 'The goal of my work as a communications associate is to increase collaboration
   and visibility of research and activities of the USGS-Great Lakes Science Center
   and Great Lakes Fishery Commission at local, regional, national, and international
   levels through communications to internal, external, Congressional, media, and
   government partners. Additionally, through public communications focused on Great
   Lakes ecology, conservation, and management, I endeavor to increase scientific
   literacy, science-based decision-making, and foster environmental stewardship
   in the general public from youth to adults. These activities support the missions
   of the USGS and Commission by promoting the protection of Great Lakes resources
   and the maintenance of healthy Great Lakes ecosystems. My science communication
   activities include: stakeholder outreach at small and large events; educational
   presentations for schools and community groups; interactions with the media; writing
   articles; social media; strategically organizing historical photos; compiling
   new photos annually from GLSC employees to be used for communications purposes.'
