Hi, I'm Elliott! I was a software engineer at a quant finance firm writing options market risk monitoring systems in Chicago. The job was good and the city was great but...

...I want to contribute to Earth systems science and be closer to the mountains, so I quit and now I'm spending the summer working on noise pollution modeling and monitoring for the National Park Service in Denali National Park and Preserve! Where is Denali?

Where does my role fall in the NPS org structure? Natural Resources Stewardship and Science Directorate - Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division
