At the U.S. Geological Survey, I process geologic samples for federal research projects, maintain laboratory equipment, and execute QA/QC procedures. I have managed more than 250 geologic sample projects.
I also conducted groundwater monitoring and soil classification across 50 remote municipal water-resource sites for the City of Flagstaff, producing watershed maps and technical reports.
As a Geologic Research Assistant at Northern Arizona University, I collected field samples, developed thermodynamic models in Perple_X, and performed electron probe and spectroscopy analyses. I presented my research on fluid-driven metamorphism in the Big Maria Mountains at the NAU Undergraduate Symposium.
My background also includes hands-on construction work, including framing, electrical, demolition, finishing, heavy-equipment operation, and OSHA compliance.
