I am a research support specialist for the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics, working mainly for the Elephant Listening Project (ELP) but also on one of our education programs, the Sound Analysis Workshop. Most of my work for ELP is analyzing data from sound recordings made in Central Africa to monitor forest elephants and gunshots by poachers. I assist with organizing and archiving the data. I am also responsible for training volunteers to help us with data analysis. My role in the Sound Analysis Workshop project is primarily organizational, but I also assist with the teaching.
