I produced films, video clips, and photographs for both freelance projects and for stock sales using high end equipment. Underwater wildlife video was my specialty, but I also shot time-lapse photographs, slow motion video, and professional interviews for documentary. For my film projects, I produced, shot, and edited all of my material.

At Hilo Ocean Adventures, my responsibilities included assisting customers with purchasing specialty dive and snorkel equipment, leading certified dive tours by both shore and boat, teaching swim lessons to kids and adults, filling SCUBA tanks, maintaining the chemistry of the swimming pool, and organizing/cleaning the dive shop.

Throughout my last year at NAU, I assisted a PhD student with research in the Alice C. Gibb vertebrate morphology laboratory. Our research involved shooting and analyzing high-speed video, live fish husbandry, clearing and bone/cartilage staining of fishes, quantifying data using ImageJ and Kinovea software, and writing up a poster presentation for the 2015 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology Conference.

While working as a lab tech, I was responsible for prepping introductory biology labs, breaking down and cleaning lab equipment, disposing of waste, organizing the equipment, and taking inventory for new shipments.
