(AMPA), and water-safe surfactant following herbicide-based control of P.
australis.

Research Intern, Birds Canada 2014-2015

• Examined how wetland bird communities responded to P. australis invasion and
assisted as needed in setting up a newly started research lab.

Supervisor, University of Waterloo Survey Research Center 2010-2013
