Current Project:
Currently, I am conducting a master’s thesis on bird diversity across the Greater Philadelphia region during migration season.
- I will be bringing a PUC acoustic logger with me to multiple point counts (human and AI verification of species)
- I will then be comparing landscape features across sites to see how they may impact the diversity of species found there
Past Projects:

- Nest checks, hatch checks, fledge checks (land and water)
- Contributed to data collection on the effects of stress levels on tree swallows
Franklin & Marshall College Independent Research Study: Bird Biodiversity and Land use
- Verified acoustic recordings of species from multiple sites
- Analyzed agricultural and urban proximity to correlate with bird species richness
“Flirries” Field Technician with the Chesapeake Watershed Initiative and Franklin & Marshall College
- Sampled water temperatures at restored and unrestored wetland sites to compare progress
- Received Commercial UAG Drone Pilot License
