I've been with the USGS for about 2 years as both a student and hydrologic technician in the Nutrient and Sediment Interactions section in the Central Midwest Water Science Center in Urbana, IL. The majority of my time is spent in the field or the lab collecting and processing water quality data, mainly for NGWOS projects. I am also the Illinois Collateral Duty Safety Program Coordinator (CDSPC).
