With over five years of professional soil science experience, I've worked on both federal and private conservation projects. Previously, as a Soil Scientist with USDA-NRCS, I completed soil mapping on 40,000 acres of BLM-managed land, conducted highly erodible land determinations, and supported wetland assessments and subsurface irrigation suitability studies. I'm familiar with federal regulatory frameworks including NEPA, CEQA, and USDA-NRCS conservation standards. Currently as an Environmental Soil Scientist at BG Soil Services, I author federally compliant conservation plans and conduct comprehensive field and laboratory analyses—particle-size distribution, nutrient extraction, infiltration testing, and contaminant detection. I use erosion modeling and GIS mapping to design management zones tailored to specific operations, and I've developed field-portable testing capabilities for rapid, on-site nutrient diagnostics.
