   personal_statement: Rebecca is an aquatic ecologist and conducts research primarily
     on cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwater ecosystems of New
     York and nationally. She began working at the USGS New York Water Science Center
     in 2023. She has previously worked in a variety of ecosystems, from urban to
     rural, aquatic and terrestrial. She currently leads numerous collaborative projects
     that address several aspects of science related to HABs. The projects span a
     range of disciplines from methods development, algal community composition,
     fate and transport of cyanotoxins, monitoring program development and more.
     The goal of the HABs work at NYWSC is in part to develop tools to inform management
     decisions and improve our understanding  of the impacts of HABs on the environment.
   professional_experience:
   - Prior to this position, Rebecca investigated HABs with the Division of Water
     at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (2015-2022).
