Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program: Headquarters
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

I started my career in the US Navy between 2005-2009. I then attended Eastern Michigan University, and began working with the US Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor, MI as a student admin in 2013. I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor's in Communications. I was then offered a job with the USGS Texas Water Science Center in Fort Worth, TX as the Administrative Operations Assistant.

In 2019, there merger between Oklahoma and Texas WSC occurred; in January 2020, I became the Management Analyst for the Oklahoma-Texas WSC, where I focused on the center's HR and Procurement tasks. In 2024, I lead the Admin Operations team as the Supervisory Management Analyst. In 2025, I joined the Cooperative Research Units working on Research Work Orders (RWO).

I have a teenage son, four cats, and a chinchilla. We all reside in Fort Worth, TX.
