I am a Geologist. State of California Licensed Professional Geologist and Certified Engineering Geologist, with over 20 years of geotechnical experience in the greater Los Angeles area.I am skilled at researching, planning targeted site explorations, and acquiring subsurface information for a thorough technical report product. My thorough technical reports present geotechnical challenges at the planning stage which reduces RFI’s and change orders during construction. Also, I am skilled at locating cross sections, Auto-CAD drafting, writing site descriptions, hazard zones discussions, and foundation and grading recommendations to demonstrate compliance with the Building Code. In addition, I map bedrock outcrops, gather detailed data of geologic structures and perform kinematic analyses. I am an effective communicator. I work directly with clients including speculative builders, contractors, architects and City reviewing geologists/engineers and City inspectors. My communication spans from the proposal stage, site exploration, geologic and soils reports, site meetings and inspections during construction, to final reports required to close permits.I am an Experienced Senior Project Geologist with a demonstrated history of working in the geotechnical engineering industry. Skilled in Engineering Geology, including test pit logging, deep boring downhole logging, hollow stem auger logging, mapping, records research, remedial slope repairs, landslide repairs, AutoCAD drafting, training staff, geologic/geotechnical report writing and proposal writing.
Listed skills include Soil Sampling, Seismology, Microsoft Word, Geotechnics, and 8 others.
