RESUME

About Me

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and an avid hiker, and geology and geography seemed like natural choices for my undergraduate and graduate education. I've conducted undergraduate research under Dr. Claire Todd modeling glaciers on Mount Rainier, worked with Dr. Andrew Fountain modeling glaciers in the North Cascades for Master's degree research, and earned a graduated certificate in GIS. I now work collecting, processing, and creating products for bathymetric LiDAR all around the globe, from Quebec to Tonga and to Guam.
