I am a hydrologic technician and website content manager at the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
I started with Oregon Water Science Center in January 2017 as a field assistant. I was totally "green" to USGS and with a lot of patience from my peers was trained up as a hydrologic technician. For several years I operated 11 stream flow and water quality gages around Springfield, Oregon. I also maintain a couple dedicated water quality gages in the Santiam basin.
More recently I have been combining my passion for words and writing with science communication. I have really enjoyed working with regional leadership developing content for the USGS Region 12 Science Explorer Mapper. I look forward to continuing to help the region and Oregon Water Science Center with web and communication outreach needs.
