• Completed five weeks of fieldwork in Dubois, Wyoming. Analyzed samples taken in the field as well as mapped different rock formations and used GPS to navigate in the wilderness.
• Fieldwork and Geological Surveys: Participated in multiple field expeditions to study and analyze geological formations, sedimentary layers, and rock structures. Conducted geological surveys to collect data on mineral composition, structural trends, and geologic history.
• Laboratory Analysis: Proficient in using laboratory equipment to analyze rock and mineral samples. Conducted mineral identification, thin section analysis, and petrographic microscopy to interpret geological histories and understand mineralogical properties.
• GIS and Mapping: Utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to create detailed geological maps, cross-sections, and spatial models. Integrated data from field observations to produce accurate visual representations of geological features.
• Sedimentology and Stratigraphy: Conducted sedimentary analysis to interpret depositional environments and paleoenvironments. Analyzed sedimentary sequences to understand past climate conditions and geological events.
• Structural Geology: Studied various rock deformation processes, fault systems, and folding patterns. Applied principles of structural geology to interpret tectonic events and reconstruct geological histories.
• Research Projects: Collaborated on research projects involving geological processes and their implications. Conducted literature reviews, data collection, and analysis to contribute to scientific understanding in the field of geology.
• Communication Skills: Presented research findings and geological concepts effectively through oral presentations and written reports. Communicated complex geological information to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Team Collaboration: Engaged in group projects, fostering effective teamwork, and sharing insights with peers. Contributed to a collaborative environment focused on problem-solving and knowledge exchange.
• Professional Development: Attended seminars, workshops, and conferences to stay updated on the latest advancements in geology. Engaged with industry professionals to expand my network and gain insights into potential career paths.
• Software Proficiency: Proficient in using geological software such as ArcGIS, Rockworks, and petrographic analysis tools, enhancing my ability to analyze and interpret geological data accurately.

I collect a whole variety of fossils from the Cambrian period all the way up to the present. Restoring them and putting them on display is my favorite hobby, and I do the same with any rock samples that I may find. I play a variety of video-games, mainly ones that are RPG related. Every year I do fantasy football with my friends, having a tournament every single year. With said friends I also play Dungeons and Dragons regularly.
