Environmental Studies Office Assistant, University of Oregon
In summer 2012, I was happy to do field work with WSU on a Fenders Blue Butterfly conservation project. I worked at the Willow Creek Nature Conservancy in Eugene to collect data about Fenders egg dispersal and the distribution of the Lupinus oreganus. The Fenders is a specialist species and only lays eggs on these plants, so these plants are incredibly crucial to population growth and survival rates. In fall 2012, I joined the Env Studies Program crew as the Office Assistant.

Seed Analyst, Oregon State University Seed Lab
I work in the purity department of OSU\'s seed testing laboratory. I look at seed samples and separate out the pure seed, inert matter, and contaminant crop and weed seeds. Most of the seeds I see are various grass seed species grown for forage, turf, or other agricultural purposes, such as orchardgrass, different ryegrasses, and tall, hard, sheep, and fine fescues. Occasionally I get to look at more exciting seeds, usually natives from the Bend Seed Extractory.
I am currently applying for a Masters degree in the Horticulture Department here.

Biological Science Technician, US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station
My job as a biological tech just ended, it was a seasonal temporary position and I'm currently seeking some new work and applying to graduate programs. I was working out of La Grande Oregon for a research entomologist. I collected data for three studies. The first was examining the long term effectiveness of a pheromone called verbanone on the exclusion of mountain pine beetles from sub-alpine lodge pole stands. The second study was trying to determine the comparative effect of the biological control agent Oberia on the noxious weed leafy spurge in upland and riparian areas. The third study was examining the rate of tree mortality by bark beetle infestation for five years after a wildland fire.

Marine Science Instructor, SEACAMP San Diego
I teach 5th-12th graders about the wonders of the ocean via amazing experiential activities. Residential groups and individuals come to the camp and spend the night for 3-6 days. We take them boogie boarding, snorkeling, out on boat trips, whale watching, kayaking and to the aquarium/sea world. On top of this I teach labs about fish, marine invertebrates and mammals, deep-sea animals, and plankton. We have lots of aquaria at camp with local and tropical marine species, which makes the labs super hands on. We also participate in community outreach activities. It is truly a tremendous place, so check out the website.
