La Jolla, California

• Direct a multidisciplinary group of engineers in designing a solar-powered pumping well withmultiple piped distribution points for project site in Western Kenya
• Perform desktop study and field exploration of geology, hydrology, soil/water chemistry,aquifer specific yield, contaminant analysis, and potential effects on nearby wells
• Communicate with local drilling contractors and understand methods/requirements toproperly document field activities and ensure satisfactory drilling operations
• Prepare statements of work and engineering reports inclusive of schedule breakdown, designdiagrams, calculations, data summaries, budget of materials, and findings/conclusions

Costa Mesa, California

• Oversaw installations of groundwater monitoring and pumping wells
• Documented soil lithology during borehole drilling; transferred to gINT subsurface data management software
• Collected groundwater and soil samples for laboratory testing of environmental hazards;
• Compiled monthly technical reports for submission to local water authority
• Conducted pumping tests to analyze aquifer beneath housing development site for rechargeand recovery; monitored groundwater levels to ensure elevations remained below grade level
• Monitored grading operations to ensure proper soil compaction and moisture content

Fullerton, California

• Investigated flow of water and air through porous media in an experimental aquifer to betterunderstand the infiltration process
• Orchestrated a team of two other researchers in performing slug tests using Arduino platform and level transmitters to determine subsurface properties
• Compiled methods, results, and implications into an engineering report and presented findings at a project showcase

• Facilitated weekly sessions outside of assigned class for groups of 5-15 students
• Created weekly curriculum by assessing group's specific needs
• Engaged students in group learning activities to supplement class lectures
• Evident improvement in subject understanding of those who attended SI versus those who did not

Tustin, California
