Evaluated and assessed how early diagenetic changes in a Pleistocene reef margin setting affect flow potential, petrophysical characteristics, and geological properties in the multiple reef matrices. This was done by analyzing biota, porosity, permeability, velocity, and resistivity in core, plug, and thin section samples from the Pleistocene reef.1080 hours of research. Publication: Diaz, V.

I was the instructor for the lab portion of the Earth Materials course. I taught relevant material, created and proctored quizzes, graded assignments, and provided office hours to my students.

Miami, Florida, United States

Tutored University of Miami athletes in Earth Science related courses. I meet with students either on a weekly basis or on a as needed basis.

Houston, Texas Area

Southern Margin Salt Basin Operations Team:- Corresponded with multidisciplinary team about drilling progress and upcoming drilling decisions.- Increased understanding of expected reservoir properties by investigating offset fields.- Improved team’s seismic interpretation strategy by investigating regional well and seismic data.

Assisted with orientation activities, led a large group of incoming students through orientation, and helped provide information to students/parents.

Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area

Tutored Students to prepare them for the SAT or ACT. I had to prepare a lesson for either a one hour session or a two hour session in order to prepare them for their upcoming SAT or ACT. I also spearheaded two advertisement campaigns at local high schools in order to gain more students for SAT and ACT preparation.
