GROSSE 272 Edisto Dr. North Augusta, SC / (Cell) Education University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources Graduated with a Master s of Science Degree, Spring 2009 GPA: 3.54/4.0 University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources Major: Wildlife Biology Graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Wildlife, Spring 2006 GPA: 3.15/4.0 Elbert County High School Elberton, Georgia Graduation: June 2002 Employment Experience 2009 Present. Research Professional I. Savannah River Ecology Lab. Responsibilities include the development of stream ecological reference models for military installations along the Atlantic coastal plain using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Radio tracking reintroduced gopher tortoises, Examining gopher tortoise burrows for indigo snakes (Drymarchon couperi) and other commensals using a burrow camera, capturing turtles to evaluate the effects of heavy metals in long-lived reptiles, conducting outreach programs for K-12 students on wildlife, ecology and ecosystems ( Ecologist for a Day ), Sampling for federally endangered reticulated flatwoods salamanders (Ambystoma bishopi) on military lands, Radio telemetry of gopher frogs (Rana capito), and understanding the natural history and behavior of non-native, Asian turtle species Masters Thesis Research. University of Georgia. Responsibilities included coordinating a crew of five people to sample for diamondback terrapins, every day for two summers; Sampling consisted of towing a 17-foot Boston Whaler to the boat ramp, launching the boat, navigating to individual tidal creek, pulling 2 36-foot seines up and down marsh tidal creeks and collecting data on over 2000 diamondback terrapins; Data collection (measuring, weighing, photographing and scute notching individual terrapins); Additionally, we extracted blood from over 60 terrapins, collected fecal samples from over 100 individuals and flushed the stomachs of a dozen more. Additionally, we collaborated with other parties in different aspects of research on diamondback terrapins Maerz Herpetology Laboratory Technician. University of Georgia. Responsibilities included, conducting,observing and overlooking numerous lab experiments; collecting data from on-going research experiments and observing and
2 identifying local herpetofauna. Herp husbandry, cleaning lab equipment, filtering water using vacuums and Millipore filters and mark-recapture with amphibians using the robust design with elastomers. (See Research experience below for more details) Environmental Consulting Intern. Glatting, Jackson, Inc. Responsibilities included documentating study site characteristics through photographs and GPS surveys; collecting abiotic and biotic data from streams, rivers, and lakes for analysis; conducting comprehensive surveys of floristic and faunal communities; assessing population dynamics of existing federally-listed threatened and/or endangered species, such as gopher tortoises and sand skinks; delineating wetlands using Army Corps of Engineer (ACOE) criteria for hydric soils, macrophytes, and hydrologic regimes; measuring and recording tree data; assisting in the release of defoliating leaf beetles to control tropical soda apple, an aggressive non-indigenous invasive species. Additionally, I wrote Environmental Resource Permits, and utilized quantitative data, USGS topographic maps, and aerial photographs to prepare comprehensive assessment reports detailing the findings of on-site wildlife and vegetation surveys Sea Turtle Technician. Jekyll Island Sea Turtle Project. Responsibilities included patrolling the beach in the mornings looking for loggerhead sea turtle nests and keeping data of current nests; relocating loggerhead sea turtle nests, digging egg chambers, probing for eggs and marking nests with stakes; patrolling the beach at night, looking for nesting turtles, and assisting in putting satellite transmitters on their carapace for Georgia Department of Natural Resources, telemetry project; assisting in loggerhead sea turtle necropsies when found stranded on the beach; conducting K-12 and adult public education and awareness presentations concerning sea turtles with an emphasis on loggerhead sea turtles, and how they survive; led turtle walks on the beach for the general public, looking for nesting loggerheads and conveying information of coastal organisms and the roles they play in their ecosystems Ecology Laboratory Technician. University of Georgia. My responsibilities directly support research related to the ecology and management of coastal populations of Chinese tallow (Sapium sebiferum). I measure and record quantitative seed trait data; assist with field collections of plant genetic material (seed and leaf tissue) on Ossabaw Island, Georgia; monitor and assist doctoral candidate with greenhouse experiments involving over 25,000 plantings and associated data collection; other laboratory duties as needed. Research Assessment of the Effects of Roads and Crabbing Pressures on DiamondbackTerrapins in Georgia To assess the relative effects of road density and crabbing pressures on the status of terrapin populations on Georgia's coast. Specifically, we will test the hypotheses that (1) Terrapin abundance is negatively correlated with both increasing road density and crabbing pressure, (2) Road density is negatively correlated and crabbing pressure is positively correlated with a bias in terrapin populations toward larger size classes and (3) Road density is negatively correlated and crabbing pressure is positively correlated with female:male terrapin sex ratio. Observing the Effects of Turbidity on the Foraging Success of the Eastern Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta picta) in the Georgia Piedmont. Spring To test the foraging efficiency of eastern painted turtle (Chrysemys picta), in a variety of turbidity levels, in an enclosed, laboratory environment. An Exploration of Scute Symmetry in Yellow-bellied Sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) Using Digital Image Analysis. Fall To investigate the
3 relationships between fluctuating asymmetry in yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta) and other features of shell morphology. Determining the Presence of Map turtles (Graptemys sp.) in historic locations of North Georgia. Summer and Fall We surveyed 9 points in northwestern Georgia where two species of map turtles were historically identified (Graptemys geographica and Graptemys pulchra), to determine if they were still present. These surveys took place in the Conasauga, Oostanaula, Coosawattee and Chattooga rivers and Lookout and Cole City creeks, using techniques such as snorkeling, kayaking, trapping and seining. Herpetology Laboratory Technician. Spring and Summer Collected data from two separate experiments which showed the effects of increased levels of CO 2 on separate plant species (Typha sp. and Liquidambar styraciflua) and how that, in turn, effects growth of larval amphibians (Rana sphenocephala, Hyla chrysoscelis, Acris crepitans, Bufo americanus, and Rana sylvatica). Observed the use of PVC pipes by Hyla sp. in a wetland using a rope and self-belaying system. Trapped and marked larval salamanders with elastomer in small creeks and streams and documented their movements. Collected data from density studies with larval Ambystoma maculatum. Checked coverboards and drift fences for terrestrial salamander species. Checked coverboards to try and determine organisms that use stilt-grass (Microstegium viminem) in part of their life cycle. Independent Study. Spring My primary responsibilities included assisting doctoral research examining genetic diversity and morphological seed traits among coastal populations of Sapium sebiferum (Chinese tallow) in Georgia. I was directly accountable for measuring and recording seed weight, mass, and viability for five populations. I organized laboratory supplies and equipment, and ordered inventory as needed, and assisted doctoral researchers in planning and implementing field work to collect plant tissue. I accompanied researchers to Ossabaw Island, Georgia to assist in collecting and storing genetic material and germplasm for later analysis. Dr. Ronald Carroll and Cheryl McCormick, supervisors.
