What did you like most about your Field Experience?

My favorite parts of my field experience at the City of Milwaukee Health Department were the bench work, everything I learned, making new connections and building my professional network.

Tell us more about your project for the City of Milwaukee Health Department.

The focus of my project has been beach monitoring. I have compared two filtering methods to ensure that we are analyzing for E. coli levels accurately, and  that beaches are closed in the most effective way. I completed the bench work, followed by the data analysis portion of the project. I then created graphs comparing both filtering methods and prep methods.
