Managed campus safety and order by enforcing traffic and parking regulations and providing a security presence at university events. Conducted regular patrols to identify and report potential hazards or facility issues, ensuring a secure environment for students, staff, and visitors.

Performed comprehensive upkeep of campus facilities to ensure a safe and inviting environment. This involved executing interior and exterior painting projects, managing landscape aesthetics through seasonal planting and grounds maintenance, and conducting daily custodial operations. I also safely operated various industrial machinery and power tools to complete both routine repairs and large-scale facility improvements.

Maintained proper sanitation of all clinic facilities, assisted in surgical procedures, ensured the well-being of all patients, used proper restraint procedures on animals to ensure animal and personnel safety, and filled prescriptions based on veterinarian orders.

This research project utilizes non-invasive acoustic monitoring to compare wildlife biodiversity and activity levels between two distinct habitats at Oasis State Park: a permanent body of water and the surrounding sand dunes. By collecting and analyzing nocturnal audio samples via spectrogram software, the study aims to identify ecological "hotspots" and test the hypothesis that water sources support higher concentrations of animal activity in arid ecosystems. The ongoing findings will provide a critical baseline for environmental monitoring, helping park management prioritize conservation efforts and minimize human disturbance in high-biodiversity areas.
