SUMMARY

I am skil led in a variety of subjects such as sanitization, food preparation, constructing reports, electronics work, and outdoor knowledge. I am easy going in my personal l ife, but I am a very tenacious worker. I enjoy working with teams as much as I enjoy working alone. I am a great problem solver and can rise to the occasion when faced with a difficult task under time constraints. My education at Virginia Tech has given me specialized knowledge in fisheries management techniques and statistics. I have worked on projects in the field seining, gill netting, and electroshocking. I am very confident in my abilities to analyze raw data, write reports, and communicate my findings professionally.
