Personal Statement
I am a nature lover who is always willing to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. I am driven by an effort to learn as much as I can through personal experience and constant interaction with people and the world around me.
Graduate Research Topic
My research is focused on the hydrology and biogeochemistry of the Adirondacks and how greenhouse gas dynamics vary based on the geomorphology of the landscape. I will explore potential regulators of greenhouse gas emissions at the soil-atmosphere interface and use GIS to identify expected hot spots for biogeochemical activity in two adjacent watersheds.

Personal Statement
I am an outdoor lover with the goal to become an ADK 46er within the next 5 years. To me, nothing beats a full day of skiing or a long weekend camping.
I currently work for an environmental consulting firm where my technical writing primarily focuses on ecological risk assessments and Environmental Assessments in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). My field efforts with the company have included benthic tissue sampling, water quality monitoring, as well as surface water and sediment sampling.

Personal Statement
Feel free to call me 'Pat'.
Graduate Research Topic
I am looking at the hydrological and biogeochemical functioning of riparian zones across a geomorphic gradient, with the primary goal of understanding the potential interactions between N, S, Fe, P, C, CO2, CH4 and N2O dynamics in these systems. I hope this research enhances riparian management by expanding our knowledge of both nutrient cycling and riparian greenhouse gas emission.
