--Responsibilities within the ACE Tutoring Center at St. Charles Community College entail working with students in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering courses to ensure their in-depth and well-founded understanding of the material, assisting with problems preventing a thorough comprehension of the material, and addressing and constructing current study habits with which to improve their academic performance.

--Responsibilities included the proofreading of research articles written by non-native English speakers. I checked for spelling, syntax, grammar, diction, and technological terminology so as provide the client with a product that appears as though it was written by a scientist with a proficiency in the English language.

Rolla, Missouri

--Prepared and delivered lectures for five Geology & Geophysics program courses focusing primarily on geophysical and tectonic theory and field applications as well as GIS software. These courses are as follows: Basic & Advanced Geology Field Camp, Introduction to Geophysics, Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (Laboratory section), and Global Tectonics/Geotectonics.--Constructed, delivered, and graded homework assignments, regular as well as term examinations, and semester-length projects--Reorganized the term research project for Global Tectonics, the Geology & Geophysics capstone course, to accommodate burgeoning enrollment numbers, and implemented a brand new entrance-exit survey system

Rolla, Missouri

--Presided over the operations of a $1 million NSF-funded Collaborative Research grant called the SAFARI (Seismic Arrays For African Rift Initiation) experiment. Conducted the detailed budgeting and adaptive logistical planning for the installation, maintenance, and demobilization of 33 seismic stations in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia across a two-year deployment, which required seven months' worth of field work. Collaborated with and supervised governmental and academic colleagues in African countries during this period.--Conducted shear wave splitting and receiver functions on the SAFARI data set--Designed code to implement the processing of and investigation of ambient noise dispersion curves for group and phase analysis.--Published three first-authored and seven co-authored research articles in geoscientific articles (as of February 2017)--Presented results of research on the Red Sea and Ethiopian Afar Depression at the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meetings in December (San Francisco) in 2013 & 2014--Primary convener of, and a presenter at, a Tectonophysics session T045 at the AGU 2015 meeting--Facilitated the installation of the first permanent seismic station, MST1, on MS&T campus: the first such station in the University of Missouri system. Equipped with a Streckeisen STS-2.5 broadband seismic sensor and a Quanterra Q330HR digitizer.

--Oversight of organization, security, and storage of donated mineral donations made toward the Department of Geosciences and Geological & Petroleum Engineering.--Training in geomagnetic traverse surveying and data processing, including the operation of one Cesium Optically-Pumped Roving Magnetometer and Proton Precession Magnetometer (Base Station) in Farafra and Aswan of the Western Desert of Egypt during December 2013 to January 2014.--Presented results of geomagnetic analysis of El Kasr Desert Eye structure at Missouri Academy of Sciences (1st Place, Collegiate Geosciences category)- Training in the Receiver Function Analysis technique for characterization of crustal thickness and P-to-S velocity ratio; applied toward preliminary studies of the Gregory and Albertine rift systems

Washington, Missouri

--Statistical analysis of First-Pass Yield (FPY) of Valve Assemblies--Calibration of high-precision devices (calipers, boom-mounted microscope with trinocular-television extension) --Preparation of fabricated welded refrigerant assemblies via precision cutting and acid-etching of weld fabrics, including examination of defect attributes

Union, Missouri
