Biography
I am a geologist with interests and strengths in economic geology, geo-thermochronology, and sedimentology and stratigraphy. I have two years of experience in the mining industry with exposure to Carlin-type gold deposits, intrusion-related gold systems, porphyry-copper deposits, and skarn deposits. My goal is to utilize my background in geo-thermochronology and ore deposit characterization to better understand the formation, exhumation, and preservation of ore deposits in the state of Arizona. I am also passionate about science communication and outreach and am always interested in ways to make science more accessible!
