Summary
After graduation in spring of 2024 I would love to work with caves and karst. Caves are my biggest passion and any work with them is pleasurable. I love learning new skills and am always eager to expand my horizons. Being able to help in all manners is rewarding and one of my goals in life is to help as many people as I can, as well as the environment, directly or indirectly. I have practice speaking in front of both small and large crowds and know how to project my voice to make sure everyone can hear me. I'm not afraid of a challenge, especially when it can help my career in the future.

WKU Courses
During the summer of 2022 I took three of the courses offered at Western Kentucky Unniversity for Mammoth cave. History and exploration, mapping and cartography, and archaeology. These three courses helped familiarize me with the expansive cave and surrounding caves and well as how a field course would work in a cave.
Springfield Plateau Grotto member
I have been a member of the local grotto here in Springfield since I moved here in 2021. I have assisted and been a part of many cave trips, from leading my own, to mapping and cartography, to even cave restoration. I have been working part time alongside a man named Jon Beard at Fantastic Caverns to help restore and rebuild the broken speleothems from vandals. I am learning vertical work now to be able to map vertical caves in the future. Some of the trips I've been on are Cave Research Foundation and my name is on, or will be on, a few maps that I've helped with
