I help process, analyze, and visualize geospatial data and assess physical climate risks.
As a Fellow for the NASA DEVELOP National Program, I supervised teams to ensure project were executed over the course of 10-week terms. My role also included coordinating with science advisors, partners, the National Program Office, to generate project ides, and write project proposals. I also worked on identify sites for our pop-up project location which differed from the traditional “nodes” or static locations. I oversaw projects from start to partner handoff and contributed to the capacity building of our participants and partner organizations to utilize and integrate NASA Earth observations into their careers or decision-making practices, respectively.
Generated historical surface water maps, a case study analysis on Hurricanes Eta and Iota, and develop a code tutorial utilizing NASA SERVIR HYDRAFloods Tool and lead a team of five individuals facilitating communication with partners, fellows, and science advisors.
Forecasted NDVI and estimate crop yield in Argentina using Google Earth Engine (GEE) JavaScript API. Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, international partners, science advisors, and fellows pertaining to the success of the research project.
Resolved technical issues relating to using, downloading, installing, and activating IDRISI software through ticket requests, by supporting over 225 users.
Developed global change prediction and vulnerability maps for 11 countries and one continent using Land Change Modeler in TerrSet for the ESRI Global Landcover Change Prediction 2050 Project. Additionally, helped produce classified images of pond aquaculture and wetlands using remotely sensed imagery.
Tested bugs by examining all possible parameters and outputs within the module and write bug reports.
Led club activities by communicating with administration and 10+ students. Directed club projects related to enhancing sustainability practices within the Clark Community.
Identified African elephants’ spectral signatures utilizing remotely sensed images. Evaluated the feasibility of using high-resolution satellite imagery for conservation of large animals by providing statistical results.
Educated 10-30 K-12 students per tour on environmental science by presenting materials, engaging student inquiry, and exploring the local, rocky intertidal zone.
