Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University
Examining how the magnitude of wildebeest carcass and hippo dung input influences production and food web dynamics in a large Kenyan river
​Senior Laboratory Instructor in the Department of Biology at the University of Victoria
Coordinated and managed laboratories and instructors for the following courses: Animal Behaviour, Survey of Invertebrates, and Chordate Zoology

Doctoral Student in the Department of Biology at the University of Victoria
Measured the impact of climate-driven changes in precipitation and introduced guppies on tropical island stream community structure and ecosystem function 
Research Associate at the Institute of Pacific Island Forestry (US Forest Service) 
Managed data and conducted field and laboratory work for two projects that examined a) effects of invasive pigs and strawberry guava on soil erosion and b) implications of precipitation changes on Hawaiian stream flow
Masters Student in the Department of Zoology at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale
Quantified the energy flow through a Neotropical stream food web before an amphibian decline to predict the implications of the decline
Laboratory and Field Technician in the Department of Biology at the University of Notre Dame
Managed and assisted several field and laboratory projects centred around determining the occurrence, decomposition, and effects of genetically modified corn and its insecticidal protein (Cry1Ab) in agricultural streams
