&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;​&lt;/strong&gt;Provide data management, database development, and technical/analytical support for the Mammals Research, Avian Research, Wildlife Health, and Species Conservation Teams within the Terrestrial Section at Colorado Parks and Wildlife.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Areas of Interest and&amp;nbsp;Expertise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;​&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;My interests lie in bridging the gap between technology and on-the-ground work within wildlife science and the greater natural resources community, bringing data-related ideas to life and working through the technical challenges to do so. I enjoy building custom database solutions from the ground up, tailoring front-end applications and back-end databases to the specific needs of researchers and biologists. I am also dedicated to implementing data management strategies that ensure long-term preservation and maximize future usability of data. My areas of expertise lie in database development and management, application development, data analysis, data quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), and geographic information systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;​​&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Education&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
