I am a trained geologist with a talent for field work, remote sensing data analysis, and mathematically intensive projects. My educational background has focused on geomorphology, sedimentoloy, and core geologic principles combined with an intensive mathematical background. In this period of telecommunication, I am accustomed to online interaction being my most frequent method of communication. I attended Dickinson College for my undergraduate education, where I applied my talent for mathematics and scientific procedure toward a B.S. in physics. At Dickinson I chose to change my career path to geology, so added courses for a strong foundation geology onto my work in physics. My study of geology came in my junior year and so I was only able to gain a minor in geology while at Dickinson. After graduating from Dickinson I felt the need for a more robust education in geology so I pursued graduate courses at Temple University and Penn State University Departments of Geology. With my additional geology courses, I then chose to improve myself by gaining greater field experience and professional training by working with the National Park Service through their Geoscientist in Parks internship program. I spent months working for the NPS at Catoctin National Park in fluvial surveying and Assateague Island National Park in coastal sediment transport assessment. Following my work with the NPS, I joined Dr. Will Ouimet for a Master’s in Geology at the Department for Integrative Geoscience at the University of Connecticut. My thesis “Characterizing Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene Deposits in Easter Connecticut” studied sedimentation changes in cores collected from post-glacial ponds near active streams. Sample collection for my thesis required the use of a vibracore which was acquired by the University during my stay. I was responsible for the establishment of all related workflows and usage guidelines. I presented my work at the NEGSA meeting of 2016. Following my graduation from the University of Connecticut I was needed to provide in home care for my parents. My time was spent helping my mother write a book, organizing the house, and keeping up with geology literature. I've joined a close friend working at a startup shop that deals in board games and other table top entertainment. At the shop I organize and lead group sessions for customers. The work at the game store is rewarding and part time, so I am looking to join the world of professional geology once again.
