GEOG 210 GPS Project
This was part of a project using ArcGIS FieldMaps to track points, lines and polygons. I mapped sidewalks, green areas and streetlamps on campus and imported them into ArcGIS Online for the final project.
SCI 291 Latex-Fruit Syndrome Review
For this project, I chose to conduct some research on a lesser known allergen, latex, and the connections between latex and fruit allergies. We learned how to write a short scientific paper and presented our findings in a PowerPoint.
BIO 111 Nature Documentary
For this project, I researched honeybees, their impacts on the environment and other bees that are native to the United States. I presented this nature documentary in a form of a PowerPoint as well.
LIB 151 Sustainable Chocolate
For this project, I studied how chocolate is harvested and the different factors involved in chocolate production. Chocolate is not a very sustainable product, but with changes in production and the flow of seed to chocolate product, this can be improved.
Adopt-a-Spot Drones Project
For my drones class we were required to come up with a story that demonstrates the use of drones and spatial thinking. We took aerial and ground photos of Adopt-a-Spot locations on campus and made a map of their locations and size. These are spots that community members can adopt and make mini gardens around campus.

Action Alert: Sustainable Agricultural Practices
For this assignment I wrote an action alert about sustainable agricultural practices. I pulled different sources on soil quality, water use and how to do things with naturally existing chemicals and organisms to improve soil quality in agriculture.
IUCN Chiribiquete Desktop Nomination
For this assignment I proposed a new IUCN World Heritage Site from nominations of recent locations. I picked Chiribiquete, Colombia for the assignment from their long history with indigenous people and highly diverse natural areas. You can learn more about Chiribiquete on the World Heritage List online.
Shurview Lab Report
My soils class recently visited Greeley’s New Shurview Open Space. We took soil samples and conducted tests to study the quality of the soil in the area. I wrote a short lab report on the soils and the image above includes the tests and results of the soils.

O Street Expansion Environmental Impact Statement
I studied NEPA and conducted a short environmental impact statement on O Street in Greeley Colorado. The aim was to examine impacts from expanding O Street westward, which ecosystems were impacted and how this would affect the local economy between Greeley and Windsor, Colorado.
