401
402<p>I am a rangeland ecologist with the <a href="https://rangelands.app/" target="_blank">Rangeland Analysis Platform</a> at the University of Montana. My work uses new remote sensing tools to estimate changes in grassland and rangeland vegetation composition and production across the western United States. I am looking for career opportunities that combine my passion for natural history, ecological research, environmental education and conservation.

491<p>Community science projects are a powerful way for local stakeholders and students of all ages to get involved directly in monitoring the environment and biodiversity around them. I believe, well designed community science projects have the potential to revolutionize ecology and environmental science by connected users around the world and bridging the gap between the interested public and research scientists. In recent years, I have been a dedicated contributor and promoter of <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org" target="_blank">iNaturalist</a> and <a href="https://www.ebird.org" target="_blank">eBird</a>.</p>

493<h3 id="contributions-to-inaturalist">Contributions to iNaturalist</h3>
494
495<p>I got hooked on iNaturalist during a <a href="https://www.scienceforconservation.org/products/amargosa-bioblitz-2017" target="_blank">2017 Bioblitz of the Amargosa River</a> organized by the Nature Conservancy.  Since then I have been an enthusiastic contributor and promoter of iNaturalist. Here I summarise my contributions to and work to promote iNaturalist in the UCLA community:</p>
496
497<ul>
498<li>I have contributed nearly 4000 observations, mostly from the Los Angeles area <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/people/andy71" target="_blank">(link to iNat profile)</a>.</li>
499<li>I created the <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/ucla-campus-biodiversity" target="_blank">UCLA Biodiversity Project</a> to collect observations of nature from the UCLA campus. So far we have documented 498 species on campus!</li>
500<li>February 2019, I led two workshops at the UCLA Mildred Mathias Botanical Garden to help students and community members get started with iNaturalist.</li>
501<li>November 2019, I gave a <a href="files/EEB_pub_iNaturalist_2019-10-07.pdf" target="_blank">presentation</a> about how iNaturalist could transform research in ecology and evolution to UCLA graduate students.</li>
502<li>August 2018, I met up with other iNaturalist users at the annual Ecological Society of America meeting in New Orleans:  <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/carrieseltzer/18119-the-first-esa-inaturalist-mixer" target="_blank">iNat mixer 2018</a>.</li>
503<li>I am working on expanding and updating the <a href="https://github.com/akleinhesselink/rinat" target="_blank"><strong>rinat</strong>  package for R</a> which makes accessing iNaturalist data easier for researchers.</li>
504<li>I have contributed to the annual <a href="http://citynaturechallenge.org/" target="_blank">City Nature Challenge</a> in Los Angeles and Southern Oregon.</li>
505<li>I Regularly participate in the online iNaturalist discussion <a href="https://forum.inaturalist.org/" target="_blank">forum</a>.</li>

564<p>I have been an avid birder since participating in the Point Reyes Christmas Bird Count in 2005.  Since then I have contributed hundreds of checklists to <a href="https://ebird.org/profile/MTM5OTI2/US-CA-037" target="_blank">eBird (link to profile)</a>. At UCLA, I have worked to document the birds on campus (96 species so far). In 2017, I helped M.S. student Samuel Bressler start the UCLA Birding club and Audubon Chapter <a href="https://dailybruin.com/2019/11/15/bruin-audubon-society-and-birding-club-makes-bird-watching-a-hoot-for-students/" target="_blank">(featured in the Daily Bruin)</a>.  I lead weekly <a href="https://www.botgard.ucla.edu/event/bruin-birding-club-fall-migration-garden-walks-5/" target="_blank">birdwatching trips on campus</a> and regular weekend trips with the birding club to hotspots around Southern California.</p>

609<p>I am currently a faculty advisor for the <a href="https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/envisci/senior-practicum/" target="_blank">IoES senior practicum</a> at UCLA. The practicum gives undergraduates a chance to engage in meaningful research aimed at solving real world environmental issues. This winter and spring I am working with seven highly motivated undergraduates in evaluating native seed sources and restoration opportunities in the Los Angeles Basin.</p>

613<p>I am trained instructor for <a href="https://carpentries.org/" target="_blank">

In spring of 20218, I led a Software Carpentry workshop for the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at UCLA <a href="https://ucla-data-archive.github.io/2018-04-07-ucla-eeb/" target="_blank">UCLA  EEB 2018-4-7</a>.

616
617<p>I have a deep commitment to teaching ecology and natural history to the general public and to K-12 students. From 2009 to 2010 I volunteered as Vice President and led environmental education and birdwatching field trips for elementary school students for <a href="http://sfnature.org/" target="_blank">San Francisco Nature Education</a>. While working in the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy I served as a mentor for the <a href="https://www.parksconservancy.org/programs/linc-summer-high-school-program" target="_blank">LINC Program</a> which provides summer-long work and education experiences for highschool students within Golden Gate National Recreation Area.</p>
618
619<p>I lead weekly <a href="https://www.botgard.ucla.edu/event/bruin-birding-club-fall-migration-garden-walks-5/" target="_blank">birdwatching field trips on campus</a> for the UCLA Bruin Audubon Society (recently <a href="https://dailybruin.com/2019/11/15/bruin-audubon-society-and-birding-club-makes-bird-watching-a-hoot-for-students/" target="_blank">featured in the Daily Bruin</a>).  I also have been involved as a board member and trip leader for the UCLA Bruin Naturalist Club.</p>
620
621<h3 id="undergraduate-mentoring">Undergraduate Mentoring</h3>
622
623<p>Throughout my career I have mentored many exceptional undergraduate research projects. I am currently working with a talented undergraduate at UCLA on a study of annual plant functional ecology and how increased night time temperatures may affect the growth rates of annual plants native to coastal California grasslands.</p>
624
625<p>One of the highlights of my career was working with undergraduates at Utah State University during my PhD. One of my undergraduate mentees, Nicole Pendleton, was an author on a recent paper from the Adler lab on how <a href="https://academic.oup.com/aobpla/article/11/5/plz043/5532809" target="_blank">&lsquo;snow-molds&rsquo; (subniveal fungal pathogens) affect cheatgrass population growth rates</a>. Her experiments as a summer REU ended up being instrumental to showing snowmold was a likely cause of higher cheatgrass mortality in heavy snowpacks.</p>
626
627<h3 id="undergraduate-biology">Undergraduate Biology</h3>
628
629<p>While a M.S. student, I taught lab sections for Biol. 110: “Biological Inquiry” and Biol. 121: “Diversity Structure and Function” for the <a href="http://biology.sonoma.edu/" target="_blank">Department of Biology at Sonoma State University</a>.</p>
