Geoscience and Engineering Geology professional.I am a geologist with a specialized work experience base within engineering geology. With the USDA-NRCS, I help perform and make geologic evaluations and analysis in support of watershed and farm bill projects within the agency. I received my M.S. in Geology (May 2021) as well as a B.S. in Geology with a minor in Political Science (May 2020). I also received my ASBOG Geologist-in-Training certification by the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists in March of 2022, and am on track for P.G. licensure by 2025.My M.S. research focused on the identification of calcareous dinoflagellates termed “calcispheres” within the North Texas Duck Creek Formation, as well as the description and identification of associated microfossils within the formation. Through my schooling and work, I have acquired a broad background in varied field work, across many regions including Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota, Washington, and Scotland. I also have an extensive experience in education and outreach from my time as a T.A. and lab assistant for the University of Texas at Dallas and Collin College.Awards:• Dallas Geological Society Scholarship Award Recipient, Fall 2020• Pioneer Fast Track Scholarship Award, Spring 2019-Fall 2020• Most Outstanding Senior Award, Spring 2020• Undergraduate Research Scholar Award, Spring 2019• Dallas Gem and Mineral Society Scholarship Award, Spring 2019• Petroleum Opportunity Scholarship Award, Spring 2018• Kristian Soegaard Scholarship Award, Spring 2019Leadership Positions:• Secretary of the UTD GeoClub, 2016-2019• NASA Micro-g NExT Challenge, Core Outreach and Social Media and Marketing Coordinator, Spring 2016 • NASA National Agriculture Community College Aerospace Scholar, Spring 2015• NASA NCAS Aerospace Scholar, Fall 2015• Secretary of the Space Exploration Society, 2015Society Membership:•
