As an accomplished Geologist with extensive experience in the oil industry, I have effectively utilized Petrel, Geographix, seismic, and petrophysical data to create precise geological cross-sections for reservoir characterization and well projects. I have supported the reservoir engineering team in evaluating target formations for future development and collaborated with the Land team to negotiate decisions on core area proposals. My role also involved working with the completions team to design wells and anticipate potential issues, and partnering with the Reservoir Characterization team for further testing of core areas for GeoChemistry data.In my role as an Operations Geologist, I successfully geo-steered over 35 horizontal wells in the Permian Basin, utilizing batch drilling and well pad drilling techniques. As a Planning Geologist, I applied petrographic techniques to evaluate reservoirs, characterizing key factors such as porosity, permeability, water saturation, and geo-mechanical properties. My experience underscores a strong capability in integrating data analysis with practical application to drive successful project outcomes and support comprehensive geological assessments.

Experienced in managing data quality and providing support to geoscientists and engineers across all asset teams. I have a strong track record in issue resolution, developing standards and workflows, and performing data loading and quality control. Independently managed the Studio database, ensuring standardization and data integrity. Utilized ArcGIS and Petrel to create high-quality maps, aiding operational planning and budget updates. Proficient in loading, formatting, and transferring data into TDM and Studio. Collaborated closely with geologic technicians, data scientists, and reservoir engineers to successfully complete projects and deliver actionable insights.

Experienced in managing data quality and supporting geoscientists and engineers across asset teams. Responsibilities include troubleshooting issues, establishing data standards, and developing workflows. Skilled in data loading and quality control with expertise in TDM, Studio, and Geographix. Proven ability to develop business rules for effective data analysis and ensure the integrity of data systems

I performed chemical analyses of biological specimens to detect the presence of prescription pain management drugs, employing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). In my role as the team lead, I oversaw departmental operations, ensuring that workflows were optimized and protocols were strictly followed. Additionally, I played an active role as a member of the Safety Committee, where I contributed to maintaining a safe and compliant laboratory environment.

Instruct two classes 3 times a week. Maintained a class syllabus, labs and additional material to help the students. Planned lectures, exams and labs to follow the course curriculum.
