Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter in the Blackstone River Watershed (2022-2024)

With support from the Clark University Weiller and Geller Fellowships, My senior honors thesis in Environmental Science and master's thesis in Environmental Science & Policy both focused on determining drivers of change in chromophoric dissolved organic matter in the Blackstone River Watershed, and how these relate to climate change.  

E. Coli in the Lake Quinsigamond Watershed (2023-2024) 

As a water quality and bacteria monitoring program intern for the Lake Quinsigamond Watershed, I did research on the drivers of e.coli events in the watershed, aiming to determine how to improve the issue. 

Carbon & Energy Budgets (2022) 

As a GWSA Natural and Working Lands Intern with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs, I used ArcGIS Pro to assess carbon budgets for the natural and working lands of Massachusetts, using numbers drawn from literature reviews.

As an Energy Efficiency Intern with the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, I utilized R to assess energy use trends and completed literature reviews to supplement and contextualize this information.

Correlations Between Water Quality, Socioeconomic Status, Greenspace, Forest Cover, and the Presence of Superfund Sites (2021) 

With support from the Clark University LEEP Fellowship, I completed an independent study on the correlations between different environmental and anthropogenic factors in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. I used hardware store water quality tests, ArcGIS pro, and extensive review of municipal and state reports to draw my conclusions.
