I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, working towards a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and a minor in Environmental Engineering Technology. As a volunteer for Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance, I help lead an Annual Watershed Cleanup and monitor chloride in local streams. Since 2023, I interned for the Lakeshore Water Institute in Manitowoc, WI, assessing the impacts of rain, runoff, and restoration on local streams with Dr. Richard Hein and Dr. Rebecca Abler as advisors. I also intern for Glacial Lakes Conservancy in Sheboygan, WI. During those internships, I had the titles of Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Lead Data Analyst, Water Conservation Intern, and Land Project Coordinator Intern. In the Summer of 2025, I will be interning with the Freshwater@UW program on a project titled “Evaluating PFAS biochar sequestration performance at field scale” with Dr. Kpoti Gunn. With my internships, I regularly present project findings at research symposiums.
Today, I am doing a research project titled “An Analysis of Regulatory Impacts on Groundwater Quality in the Silurian Aquifer of Northeastern Wisconsin.” I will answer the question “Has the 2018 NR151.075 Silurian Bedrock Performance Standards and implementation of local regulations based on the 2007 Karst Task Force recommendations affected groundwater quality in Northeast Wisconsin?” with Kevin Erb and Dr. John Luczaj as my advisors. The last update to groundwater quality in response to the 2007 Karst Task Force was done in 2015. Today, ten years later, I will be providing another update to the research that county officials will use to assess current manure spreading practices.
After graduation, I hope to continue my efforts in water quality and conservation.
