Wildlife Project
Date
April 2024
Role
My role in the wildlife project has evolved over time. I initially focused on gathering GIS data for 19 counties considered for the project. As we delved deeper into the details, I began managing the timeline alongside my faculty supervisor. I also assisted with community outreach, camera deployment, and the implementation of AI Wildlife Insights, which has significantly enhanced our project’s efficiency. Throughout the academic year, I’m responsible for maintaining progress, wrapping up summer data, and organizing for fall and winter deployments. Additionally, I will serve as the primary contact for students developing research projects to present in the spring.
