    • Catalina Island Conservancy

      Aug 2011 - May 2017

      I coordinate all operations for the conservation department for the Catalina Island Conservancy. This includes managing the vehicle fleet, setting up meetings for the Director of Conservation and the Chief Conservation and Education Officer, and managing our visiting researcher/intern house. I also conduct rare plant surveys which involves monitoring the species once found. I am in charge of maintaining 15 "exclosures", 8 feet tall plastic fences that exclude introduced mule deer and bison from browsing on rare, native, and sometimes federally listed plant species.
