1

Hello, Aquaponics Community!

I am a soon-to-be graduate (August 1) with a Master’s degree in Agriculture and Natural Resources from Tarleton State University. I am actively seeking full-time employment within the continental United States, focusing on aquaponics, hydroponics, or related sustainable agriculture fields.

About Me:

  • Three years of hands-on experience managing an aquaponics and hydroponics greenhouse, including overseeing daily operations, maintaining system health, and training new staff on protocols and best practices.
  • Experience in designing, constructing, and maintaining aquaponics and hydroponics systems.
  • Skilled in water quality management and nutrient dosing.
  • Proficient in scientific research, including evaluating alternative feed sources (BSFL and algae) for tilapia and analyzing nutrient dynamics in soilless agriculture.
  • Hands-on experience with data collection, environmental monitoring, and analysis using RStudio.
  • Strong background in public outreach, including developing STEM curriculum and presenting at conferences.
  • Proven ability to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects

I am passionate about integrating sustainable practices with community education and eager to contribute to innovative aquaponics initiatives. Please reach out if you know of any opportunities or would like to connect!

Thank you!

Hello Emma, I will send an email this week. I would like to talk to you about a proposal for an aquaponics project in Massachusetts. It is a worker owned cooperative and has excellent scaling opportunities. We have some funding available but are trying to build a team to secure more funds. Ben

Hi Ben,

Thank you for reaching out! I’m definitely interested in learning more about the aquaponics project and the cooperative model you’re working on in Massachusetts. It sounds like a fantastic opportunity, and I’d love to hear more about your vision.

Best,
Emma Louise
