Moose River, Nova Scotia

Responsibilities include project management (exploration drill programs, core facility), geological interpretation, geological modeling, mapping, drill hole planning of gold targets in the Meguma terrane across eastern Nova Scotia. Other duties include the supervision and training of technical and labour staff at Atlantic Gold’s core facility and field locations, core logging, QA/QC of core sampling process, using proprietary and publicly available Nova Scotia geoscientific geospatial data to create drill hole plans, cross-sections and geologic maps using QGIS, MapInfo, Leapfrog, Datashed and Geotic software.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Thesis Title: Sedimentology, Stratigraphic Evolution and Provenance of the Cambrian – Early Ordovician Potsdam Group in the Ottawa Embayment and Quebec Basin. Supervised by Dr. Robert William C. Arnott. Date of defense: September 16, 2016. Date of graduation: October 23, 2016.Mapping, stratigraphic correlation, petrogrpahy, facies analysis and provenance of the Cambrian - Odovician Potsdam Group in New York State, Quebec and Ontario.Highlights of PhD research: 12 months of field-based geological mapping, stratigraphic correlation, drafting sections and maps, managing/manipulating geospatial data and geologic mapping using ArcGIS suite software, analytical U-Pb geochronology, presenting research at six international conferences in North America and Europe, publication of four peer-reviewed scientific articles.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Duties: Lecturing, preparation and delivery of laboratory teaching materials, tutoring, lab marking, proctoring.

Halifax, Canada Area

Duties: Teaching ERTH 2203: Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks, a second year course that covers the fundamentals of sedimentology.

Calgary, Canada Area

Duties: Sedimentary and petrophysical characterization of the unconventional Montney Formation in the Gold Creek area, Alberta.Supervised by Dr. Jonathan Pugh (Team Lead Subsurface Technology, Technology Excellence & Deployment Team, Shell Canada) this R&D internship involved the integration and development of sedimentological, petrographic, petrophysical and geophysical methods in order to improve the subsurface predictive capability of existing industry technology, for safer and more efficient unconventional petroleum resource extraction.Note: this assessed internship resulted in a full-time job offer from Shell Canada in October 2014 for the position of “production geology – Heavy oil mine development”; however, the job offer was rescinded in August 2016 due to major reorganization of Shell’s heavy oil assets in Canada.

St. John'S, Nl Canada

Under the leadership of Prof. Paul Sylvester and colleagues, this research role was funded by ACOA (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) and involved providing analytical research tools and resources to faculty, students, and collaborating with private sector and government partners. Sediment provenance and related geochemistry and geochronology research and development projects were conducted in conjunction with the Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences, and mineralogical and geochemical investigations were undertaken in partnership with researchers at the Iron Ore Company of Canada, Vale, Statoil and the Yukon Geological Survey.

St. John'S, Nl

Highlights of MSc research: Analytical modal mineralogy and petrography using SEM-EDX technology and MLA software, analytical U-Pb geochronology, core logging and plotting sections, mapping using ArcGIS suite software, presenting research at two international conferences, publication of one peer-reviewed scientific article.

Seal Lake Area, Labrador

Duties: Regional bedrock geological mapping of the Mesoproterozoic Seal Lake Group. Planning and leading geological traverses with an assistant and investigating base metal and uranium occurrences. Mapping and manipulating data using ArcGIS suite software.Supervised by Tim van Nostrand (Project Geologist) this senior mapping assistant position involved independant 1:50,000 scale bedrock geological and structural mapping of the Proterozoic Seal Lake Group in Labrador, and documentation of the bedrock geology of this supracrustal unit in a map and report.

Calgary, Ab

Duties: Detailed sedimentary and petrophysical analysis, correlation and mapping in order to create a sequence stratigraphic model for the Cretaceous Wabiskaw formation in the Mackay River property, Athabasca oil sands.Supervised by Dr. Michael Webb (Senior Geologist) this R&D internship involved the sedimentological and petrophysical investigation of the Mesozoic Wabiskaw Formation, a fluvial to tide-dominated marine siliciclastic unit in the Athabasca Basin, Alberta. These investigations led to the development and documentation of a sequence stratigraphic reconstruction of the sedimentation history of the Wabiskaw.
