Currently doing my masters thesis project on developing surficial geological criteria to site a small modular reactor in Saskatchewan.My project is developing a set of criteria for Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in the Saskatchewan geological landscape. This involves soil sampling, lab testing, GIS mapping, field work and 3D modelling.Conferences Presented at:Saskatchewan Geological Survey Open House, Saskatoon, SK, December 2018Canadian Nuclear Society, Saskatoon, SK.

In the summers of 2012 and 2013 I was the head interpreter at Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park. In that role I was in charge of all the educational and entertainment programming in the park. I regularly led guided hikes with upwards of 90 people with a focus on geology related topics such as glaciation, paleontology, sedimentation and general geology of the area. On top of this I produced seminars and displays on topics such as survival skills, edible plants, geocaching and mapping for crowds of 50-200 people. I was also a park liaison for researchers in the park and was able to spend some time with a paleontology field camp aiding in geological mapping, local formation knowledge, and excavation.

When a salesman would sell a new contract I would take the customer over, introduce them to the service, make sure that the first and second delivery went well and attending to any other needs that may have rose.
