  abstract: Career ExperienceAs a Hydrologic Technician, my primary responsibility

    is the collection of continuous Surface Water and Water Quality Data within Pennsylvania.

    This data collection includes making regular discharge measurements, evaluation

    of data, and maintaining instruments and infrastructure within the streamgaging

    network across the state. A key component of the position has become staying on

    the leading edge of technological advancements in both data processing programs

    and data collection instrumentation. Running multi-disciplinary field trips throughout

    the state presents ever changing conditions and challenges. This requires finding

    creative solutions in infrastructure installation for each gage's unique characteristics,

    equipment needs, and stream dynamics.Prior to working with the USGS, I was as

    an Environmental-Scientific Technician in the Division of Water Quality Standards,

    for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This position expanded

    my knowledge of Surface Water Ecology. My duties included collection of discrete

    water quality data via multi-parameter sondes as part of the Continuous In-stream

    Monitoring (CIM) protocol; collection of macro-invertebrates, aquatic plants,

    and fish population surveys for Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scoring as part

    of the In-stream Comprehensive Evaluation (ICE) protocol; and habitat assessments,

    fish tissue analysis for consumption advisories, chemical/bacteriological sampling

    and radiation sediment sampling.
