- Established a sequence stratigraphic framework of the Lodgepole formation to improve drill program and assess any up-hole conventional prospects- Develop existing Bakken asset through short and long term asset planning with reservoir engineering team- Contribute geologic knowledge to CRS mapping project with multidisciplinary team for appraisal and future sales program- Train Operations Geologist on permitting, planning, and execution of drilling program in Williston Basin- Lead and support geologic operations on >30 wells in the Williston Basin, with lateral target windows <10 ft- Supervise on-site geologists in drilling operations for curve landing, lateral steering targets (including anti-collision operations), and identifying drilling hazards or potential steering mistakes- Maintain real time dip profile and geologic interpretation to increase drilling efficiencies and optimize lateral steering- Create geological exhibits and provide expert witness testimony at NDIC hearings- Maintain well and production databases from IHS into GGX for various Rocky Mountain Basins- Provide mapping support to better understand company and other operators positions for business plans and development or acquisitions/divestitures Supervisor: Steve Adams

- Detailed core descriptions in the DJ Basin (Codell Formation)- Depth-shift core descriptions to well-logs and routine core analysis for presentations and publications using WellCAD- Creation, management, and organization of DJ Basin core data catalogueSupervisor: Edmund "Gus" Gustason

- Organized large collection of poorly stored cores- Sorted and prepared cores for donation to CU Boulder or the USGS Core Research CenterSupervisor: Marshall Deacon

Worked as a member of the Reservoir Characterization and Modeling Laboratory (RCML) researching relevant topics to create an organize a working research library of literature focusing on the Unita-Piceance Basins. Imported well data into Petra, digitized raster logs, and created geocellular models in Petrel.

Instruct and led local field trips for undergraduate-level Physical Geology labs

- Cane Creek Shale in the Kane Springs Federal Unit in the Paradox Basin - member of Exploration Team- Regional subsurface mapping and off-set analysis of the Cane Creek Shale using well-logs and seismic dataMentor: Ben Kessel and Todd GibbsSupervisor: Lee Shannon

Instructed piano lessons and assisted with homework and English skills in a home with children where English was second language.

Collaborated with researchers at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to better understand alkalinity in tufa deposits from Mono Lake, California. Prepared samples for rare earth element and uranium-thorium ratios analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) including crushing, loss on ignition, digesting samples in acid, and ion exchange columns.

Tutored undergraduate students for various courses, including: Physical Geology, Matrix Algebra, Calculus II, Multivariate Calculus, Logic

Assisted with migmatite research by created an interactive database to search for literature, samples, and geochemical data. Used petrographic microscope to sort feldspar and zircon grains for sampling and completed loss on ignition of powdered samples and ion exchange columns in preparation for geochemical analysis.
