I am a research technician at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Currently I am working on projects in both the Geophysical Institute (GI) and the Instutite of Arctic Biology (IAB). In the GI I am providing technical support for the Permafost Lab and in IAB I am working out of the Spacial Ecology Lab (SEL) on the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) at the Bonanza Creek LTER site.
