91̽»¨ B.S. Geology ’20, 91̽»¨ M.S. Geology ‘22

I was born and raised in Colerain Township outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. I originally attended DePauw University for a year before discovering a love for natural sciences, resulting in my transfer to 91̽»¨ to study Geological Sciences. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree (2020) and a master’s degree (2022) in Geological Sciences from 91̽»¨. My undergraduate thesis focused on age dating and petrology of the Black Hand Sandstone under the guidance of . I switched my focus to hydrogeology in graduate school to study complex interactions between wetland ecosystems and greenhouse gas emissions under .

During my five years at 91̽»¨, I was blessed with multiple opportunities to travel and grow as an aspiring geologist. These included attending a volcano monitoring research program in the Canary Islands, performing mass spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence at the University of Texas in Austin, and spearheading a master’s field campaign in Gunsan, South Korea. I was also fortunate to intern at Alt & Witzig Engineering in 2019 as a field geotechnical engineer.

After graduating from 91̽»¨, I moved back to Cincinnati to begin my career as a staff geologist for ,a small environmental consulting firm. As an environmental consultant, I am involved with the development and implementation of solutions for environmental remediation.

Aside from geology, I enjoy playing multiple sports such as soccer, softball, volleyball, skiing, and golf. I am an avid audiophile as both a bass guitar player and a collector of vinyl records.

I am excited to participate as a member of the Alumni Advisory Board and give back to a department that provided me with so much as a student. I look forward to meeting and assisting future geologists at 91̽»¨. Please feel free to reach out!
