What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and sustainability, with opportunities for growth.

I am a motivated and results-driven early career geoscientist with a strong passion for low-carbon initiatives and sustainability. My academic journey includes a Master of Science in Geosciences from Georgia State University, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. I am dedicated to contributing to geological operations and asset exploration, always eager to embrace challenges that foster innovation.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including Project Manager at Environmental Community Action Inc., where I develop solutions to address environmental and climate change challenges. My teaching experience at Georgia State University has allowed me to share my knowledge in geology and geography, while my research on the Clay mineralogy of Woodford shale has deepened my understanding of unconventional resources. I am committed to continuous learning and development, aiming to build expertise in exploration and sustainability.
