   personal_statement: Originally from the U.P. of Michigan, I've always been interested
     in fisheries and freshwater; however, my interests center around the impacts
     of invasive species on freshwater ecosystems. I have experience working on ecosystem
     models and aquatic food webs, particularly related to the impacts of invasive
     fishes. For the past five years, I've conducted research on the movement dynamics
     of invasive Asian carps, both with Southern Illinois University (postdoc) and
     with the USGS, here in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  I joined the USGS in 2015 and
     am currently responsible for conducting research related to movement dynamics
     of invasive Asian carps in the Illinois River and conducting all studies related
     to the use of underwater sound to deter invasive fishes in collaboration with
     the USACE-ERDC, USGS-CERC, and University of Minnesota-Duluth.
