   abstract: I started with the USGS Missouri Water Science Center in the summer
     of 2006. I worked as a student as part of the SCEP (student career exploration
     program) until 2008, when I was brought on full-time as a hydrologic technician
     in the Networks section. During this time, I worked primarily on the Missouri
     Stream gaging network, and was Hydroacoustic Specialist for our Center. In 2019
     I transferred to the Science Section of the Central Midwest Water Science Center
     as a Physical Scientist working with the Fluvial Mechanics and Geomorphology
     Group. Since then, I have been primarily focusing on working with Multibeam
     Echosounders for bathymetry in Rivers and Lakes around the Central Midwest Region.
