Jefferson Community Center is a non-profit organization located in Eureka, CA. This project will focus on their dedication to food insecurity and how they teach their youth programs about sustainable food practices. It will also show other services such as their sustainable garden plots in which they grow their own food but also plant native plants for wildlife conservation. My poster will show the variety of services I've helped with during my time there.

This poster covers Weight Cycling and Rapid Weight Loss and its Effect on Athletic Performance in Combat Sports. It discusses what weight cycling is, the groups most likely to weight cycle, and how weight cycling affects those who participate in combat sports.

Samsung smart tags are used as a tool for tracking the location of mule deer and assessing their use in different environments with levels of urbanisation.

An analysis of survey data collected from students in introductory college geoscience courses with heavily project-based curriculum. Pre and post surveys were taken to determine changes in student outlook on altruistic and environmentalist attitudes towards geology content and careers and how this change is different among demographics, which potentially can be used to promote higher racial and gender diversity in the field of geoscience.

We studied conifer and hardwood regeneration response to experimental harvest treatments conducted ~100 years after the first harvest (clearcut). We examined relationships between understory light, varying overstory tree retention, and growth of coast redwood and tanoak stump sprouts arising after complete and partial harvest. First, we quantified understory light throughout this 30 ha experiment comparing four different retention treatments repeated at four sites. Then we related understory light to post-treatment stand density, treatment type, and regeneration. Redwood sprouts outperformed tanoak by different margins, and grew most rapidly in high light.

Experiential education incorporates approaches such as service learning, place-based education, and student-centered learning into traditional and nontraditional education settings. Based on my research paper on experiential education’s role in addressing climate change and justice (“Experiential Education: Preparing Our Climate Change Combaters of The Future”), I am also using my experience with service learning at SCRAP Humboldt to further explore how these forms of education can effectively teach social and environmental justice. These approaches provide children and young adults with better toolkits for becoming future leaders and active citizens in our rapidly changing world.

River otter sightings from watercourses and coastlines in Humboldt, Del Norte, and adjacent counties are sought by citizens in order for population status to be assessed and monitored. The project is run by Professor Jeff Black and students of Humboldt State University's Wildlife Department.

By utilizing a critical Feminist approach, I will illustrate how Visa's commercial series "Money Is Changing," attempts to portray Visa as a Feminist company, but ironically reinforces the very same ideologies, stereotypes, and norms that ground gender inequality.
