Teaching Assistant - Ornithology
Apr, 2016 - PresentRutgers University
Ornithology is the study of birds. Classes are based on learning what makes birds unique from other animals and how to identify them. Classes are a combination of lab and field based learning.
Varsity Tutor
Aug, 2014 - Sep, 2015Varsity Tutors
I worked for Varsity Tutors and tutored in clients homes. I tutored physics, biology, algebra, and SAT test prep. I truly enjoyed working for the company but moved and many of my students were too far for me to continue to travel to their houses. Additionally Varsity Tutors only allows in house tutoring and this did not work ideally for my schedule.
Teaching Assistant - Wildlife Conservation and Management
Aug, 2014 - Dec, 2014Rutgers University
This course taught mathematical modeling to represent wild populations. These models started simple and eventually were built up to become more complex and realistic. The final project of the class involved taking all methods that were learned during the class to create viable plans to protect threatened species in New Jersey.
Co - Instructor: Life of Birds
Aug, 2014 - Dec, 2014Rutgers University
I helped co-teach a freshmen level introductory ecology course focusing on basic field techniques for ecology. We focused primarily on birds as study organisms.
Field Crew Leader
May, 2014 - Sep, 2014Ecology of Bird Loss Project
The Ecology of Bird Loss Project is a long term scientific investigation of the impacts of the invasive brown tree snake on the island of Guam. I spent several months in the Marianas conducting research with this project and leading field technicians through field sites. This experience reinforced many of my field techniques as well as my leadership skills.
