Work History
Conservation Scientist, 07/2017 to Current
Department Of The InteriorCottonwood School, WY,

My role as an employee of the Tulalip Tribes is to coordinate adaptation of all Tribal interests to climate change. My team and I are housed in the Treaty Rights and Government Affairs Department. We take an approach that accepts that each unit within the Tribes has different needs and capacity to adapt measures. Some of our work is geographically based, such as treaty resource restoration and protection, while some is program based such as health delivery systems and hazard mitigation planning. Our overall goal is the ensure the long term resilience of Tulalip Tribes' cultural and community prosperity.

Ecologist, 12/1989 to 04/2013

I held community based position on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. I was the face of EPA working with the community, including Alaska Native Villages, to develop locally implemented environmental protection. I convened work-groups of experts and citizens to develop strategies. URLs of web sites showing tangible results can be provided on request. My work at EPA was to protect the ecological integrity of the marine and fresh waters of Alaska by implementing programs of the United States' Clean Water Act. In addition to my work at the community level I predicted effects of projects such as large mines, highways, port development and housing. I was the Grant Team Coordinator for Wetlands Program Development Grants as well as a manager of several million dollars in individual grants. I was the Regional Mining Coordinator for my group, the Aquatic Resources Unit of Region 10. I was USEPA's representative on the Alaska Transportation Environmental Streamlining Group, as well as mine restoration groups in Alaska.

United States Fish And Wildlife ServiceCity, STATE,

I led in-stream flow studies on California's Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers, and was a team member on faunal surveys and other studies. The purpose of the flow studies was to determine the quantity of water needed to support remnant populations of salmon below large dams. I was the Sacramento office's designated representative on the initial San Juaquin River restoration. I managed field crews of up to ten biologists.

Skipper and Crew, 05/1975 to 09/1984
