Internship

I presented original research at the International Associate of Landscape Ecology, North America, conference in April 2021. My poster presentation was the culmination of a yearlong virtual internship with The Nature Conservancy, where I learned the programming language R and software GIS in order to create data visualizations of data about historic fire amounts in North America.

In the summer of 2019 I had the unique opportunity through the Curious Science Writers program to follow a biomedical research study at the National Institutes of Health, interview a scientist behind the study, and then write a journalism article for teenagers about the importance of the research.
