   abstract: I routinely make discharge measurements with ADVs and ADCPs, execute
     differential level surveying to establish and maintain datum at gaging stations,
     deploy scientific equipment to monitor physical hydrology and water quality
     parameters, and continuously process data records. On occasion, I also assist
     the Hydrologic Studies Program with sampling for the Pennsylvania Water Quality
     Network.Previously, I performed fieldwork included biological and hydrologic
     data collection in isolated and forested watersheds in the Pacific Northwest
     states of Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. During this time, I participated
     in projects that spanned a large geographic area and included public lands such
     as Mt. Rainier National Park, North Cascades National Park, Willamette National
     Forest, and Mt. Hood National Forest, among others. Data collected included
     channel morphology, stream gradient, benthic substrate, water chemistry, environmental
     DNA, and macroinvertebrates.
