   personal_statement: Samantha Oliver received her PhD in Limnology and Freshwater
     Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she did continental-scale
     water quality research at the Center for Limnology. Prior to her Phd, she completed
     a Masters degree in Integrated Biosciences at the University of Minnesota-Duluth,
     where her research focused on nutrient transport of migrating zooplankton in
     Lake Superior. She joined the Wisconsin Water Science Center in 2017 first as
     a student in the Pathways program, and then as a hydrologist. Currently, she
     contributes to a variety of projects across the center, including long-term
     trends in stream water quality in urban and agricultural watersheds of Milwaukee
     and Madison, the biological relevance of contaminants in Great Lakes tributaries,
     the effects of best management practices on runoff from farm fields (edge-of-field
     monitoring), and the consequences of airport deicers in surface water runoff.
     Samantha also spends part of her time with the Data Science branch in the Integrated
     Information Dissemination Division (IIDD) as an instructor for the Intro to
     R course and contributer to various projects including predictions of lake water
     temperature.
