Graduate Research

 

California State University, Northridge
Department of Geography
The working title of my graduate thesis is “Quantifying the Spatial Distribution and Dynamics of the

California Sea Lions Using RAMAS GIS.” The purpose of this study is to quantify the spatial distribution

and dynamics of the California sea lion populations using the GIS incorporated population viability

analysis software, RAMAS GIS to determine the optimal sustainable population prescribed by the Marine

Mammal Protection Act.

 

 

Field Experience

Ocean Carrying Capacity Program – Bering-Aleutian Salmon International Survey
Research Fisheries Biologist – ZP-0203 01/2007 – 01/2010
Primary role is support surface trawl operations aboard the NOAA vessel Oscar Dyson by collecting,

measuring, weighing, labeling, recording, and storing salmon and forage fish collected, processing salmon

samples used for bioenergetic studies, processing salmon samples used for otoliths and genetic studies.

Host Agency: Division of Fish & Wildlife Protection (DFWP) - Koror, Republic of Palau
Peace Corps Volunteer – Conservation Extension Officer 10/2003 – 08/2004
Primary role is to train and assist DFWP counterparts to develop necessary skills and knowledge to support
the continued development of DFWP programs, such as community outreach, education, and the Marine

Environmental Enforcement Response Team (MEERT). Become actively involved in all aspects of

conservation with DFWP and the various states of Palau. Develop and design DFWP brochures, posters,

presentations and web site using digital photography and Photoshop software.

Department of Biology

Undergraduate Courses

Planned, executed, and presented several research projects for various upper division biology classes. Studied the
effects of depth and currents on the density of zooxanthellae in the finger coral, Porites compressa, found on
Checker Reef, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. Studied the effects of lunar tides on the vertical distribution of
various species of shorebirds along the Long Beach harbor breakwater. Completed a project comparing lamina
and pneumatocyst morphology between an exposed (high wave energy) and protected (low wave energy)
population of the brown kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, at Catalina Island, California.

 

Laboratory Experience

Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute, NOAA – Juneau, Alaska
Ocean Carrying Capacity Program – Bering-Aleutian Salmon International Survey
Research Fisheries Biologist – ZP-0203 01/2007 – 01/2010
Primary role is process salmon and forage fish samples collected during the Bering-Aleutian Salmon

International Survey (BASIS). Remove otoliths and heart tissue from salmon samples for latter studies,

determine energy densities for salmon sample collected during BASIS. Reconstructed and maintained the

Ocean Carrying Capacity Program’s BASIS fish database. Developed and maintained the Ocean Carrying

Capacity Program’s website.

Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA - LaJolla, CA.

Laboratory Technician (Full-Time Volunteer) 07/1996 – 08/1997

Full scope of responsibilities including SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) assays,
protein and DNA analysis, sample preparation, protein purification, cell culturing, immobilized metal affinity
chromatography (IMAC), dialysis, handling radioactive materials, literature research, ordering and maintenance of
bench stocks and supplies, performance of routine screening for radioactive contamination of laboratory area.

Worked on a National Science Foundation project with Dr. Osmund Holm-Hansen, Dr. Russ Vetter, and Dr.
Mark Westerman. The main focus of this project was to determine the effects of ultraviolet radiation on Arcto-
Norwegian cod embryos and larvae in the arctic ecosystem. Examined the relationship between DNA damage,
cell cycle progression, and development rates in teleost embryos and larvae. Used Mitosis Promoting Factor
(MPF) activity as a means to measure instantaneous growth.
