RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
University of Nevada, Reno August 2019 - Present
Graduate Research Assistant Reno, NV
· Lead the development of the open source Python code for accessing and analyzing UAVSAR based InSAR/SAR
snow remote sensing data for the NASA SnowEx Campaign.

NASA SnowEx Campaign August 2019 - Present

Co-Field Lead Reno, NV
· With Dr.Anne Nolin, co-lead an eight person field team conducting an intensive ground-based snowpack mea-
surement time series at the Sagehen Creek Field Station.

Honors Thesis, University of Colorado Boulder August 2015 - May 2016

Undergraduate Researcher Boulder, CO
· Working under Dr.John Pitlick, continued the modeling research started in Australia by improving the analysis,
generating clear figures, and enhancing the discussion and results section of the work.

Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research Site (LTER) January 2016 - May 2016
Snow Hydrology Research Intern Boulder, CO
· Under the direction of Dr. Mark Williams collected a range of different snow hydrology data at the CU
Mountain Research Station for LTER’s long-term snowpack data set.

Waterway Ecosystem Research Group (WERG) April 2015 - May 2015

Hydrologic Modeling Research Intern, University of Melbourne Melbourne, VIC, Australia
· Working under Dr.Nick Bond and Dr.Matt Burns, designed research to test three rainfall-runoff models in
low-flow situations across a range of different hydrologic flow regimes in Australia.
· Advisors used the findings when presenting to Melbourne Water, the local government water utility, about
future water resource management decisions.
