Additional Background
Employment
Economist, NOAA Fisheries, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, 2004-Present
My primary responsibility is to conduct research on natural resource economics and fisheries management. I also provide input to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council’s Non-target Species Committee, participate in the Alaska Fisheries Science Center Habitat and Ecological Processes Research (HEPR) planning committee, and work to improve data collection and availability for economic and spatial analysis.
Research, Teaching, and Professional Experience
Research Assistant, Evans School, University of Washington, 2002-2003
Served as a research assistant on a project which applied discrete choice models to Steller sea lion area closures in the Bering Sea pollock fishery. Co-organized an expert workshop on spatial fisheries modeling for the Bering Sea.
Instructor, Department of Economics and Program on the Environment, University of Washington, 2002, 2003
Designed and taught “An Introduction to Environmental Economics,” which for the first time offered an environmental economics class for non-economics undergraduate students at the University of Washington.
Teaching Assistant, University of Washington, 2000-2002
Worked as a teaching assistant for an interdisciplinary climate change class and several microeconomics courses.
Associate, Cascadia Consulting Group, 1996-1999
At Cascadia, a small environmental consulting company based in Seattle, I managed and provided quantitative input on a wide range of projects. This input included forecasting recycling and disposal rates, developing transportation cost models, and creating and managing paint recycling programs in Washington and Oregon. I also designed database systems to manage environmental data and developed water conservation programs.
Economic Analyst, WA State Department of Natural Resources, 1995-96
Evaluated economic and demographic trends in Washington State and gathered data comparing market and non-market uses of state forestlands. Surveyed economic literature that evaluates non-market values of wilderness lands.
