Ongoing student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville currently pursuing both a Bachelors of Science in Geography with a minor in environmental sciences and studio art as well as a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree while preparing for graduate school. My current work assignment is for Spire Energy as a GIS analyst focusing on building, maintaining, and validating construction engineering maps for current and ongoing natural gas projects within the state of Missouri.

Prior to school I was enlisted in the Navy as a Master at Arms specializing in anti-terrorism force protection, criminal investigations, and personal/assets protection on both a national and international level. Have held a TS and SC clearance.
