Oceanographer, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), NOAA (Chicago, IL) | 2019–Present

Lead researcher on the "Lake Michigan Climate Adaptation Project," analyzing long-term data to assess the impact of warming temperatures on fish populations and water chemistry.
Collaborated with local stakeholders in United States Chicago to develop mitigation strategies for hypoxia (low oxygen zones) in coastal waters, reducing ecological harm by 18% in 5 years.
Utilized advanced remote sensing technologies to monitor algal blooms and provide real-time data to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA).
Published a report titled "Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss in the Great Lakes Region," featured in the 2022 United States Climate Action Plan.

Research Associate, University of Chicago Marine Science Division (Chicago, IL) | 2015–2019

Conducted field research on the effects of microplastics in the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, resulting in a 2018 publication in Environmental Science & Technology.
Managed a team of 6 graduate students to collect and analyze water samples from 15+ sites across the Midwest, contributing to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) baseline data sets.
Provided scientific expertise for policy briefings on marine pollution, influencing state-level legislation in Illinois.

Assistant Research Scientist, Illinois State Water Survey (Springfield, IL) | 2011–2015

Developed a predictive model for nutrient runoff in agricultural watersheds, improving water quality in the Mississippi River basin.
Partnered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess the efficacy of wetland restoration projects in reducing nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
Presented findings at national conferences, including the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco, CA.

Technical Skills: GIS mapping, remote sensing (Landsat, MODIS), MATLAB and Python for data analysis, R programming for statistical modeling.
