Eng. Sci. & Tech Intern—Pennsylvania Geological Survey, Pittsburgh, PA (May 2022-Aug 2022)
▪ Supervised by Kris Carter, P.G., Assistant State Geologist of Pennsylvania
▪ Funded through the Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI)
▪ Reviewed carbon capture, utilization, and storage publications to build the geologic properties tables for high-porosity formations of interest across several states. This table was published in the Budget Period 1 report.
▪ The MRCI project collaborated with project manager Battelle, and several state geologic surveys including Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio.
Geology Intern—Freeport-McMoRan Sierrita Mine, Tucson AZ (June 2015-Aug 2015)
▪ Supervised by Angela Roach, Ph.D.
▪ Executed a research project using the new ground-based LiDAR that the mine acquired.
▪ Worked with engineers and other geologists to map which areas of the mines had higher
concentrations of copper/molybdenum and which areas were susceptible to slope failure
