  Bachelor of Science (BS) Geology
  Activities and Societies: Geology Club Excellence in Geology Award - (2016). Undergraduate Research - Petrographic analysis of the Wonewoc and Jordan formations that evaluated regional trends of cementation and diagenetic patterns. The study was designed to constrain the composition of interstitial material that may be liberated during the extraction and processing of silica sand, and provided a baseline for an accurate assessment of potential airborne fine-grained particulate matter.

  Undergraduate Student Researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
  My research focused on the diagenetic evolution Cambrian sandstone utilized in the silica sand industry in the upper Mississippi River Valley. It involved a petrographic analysis of the Wonewoc and Jordan formations to evaluate regional patterns of cementation and diagenetic history. This study was designed to constrain the composition of interstitial material that may be liberated during the extraction and processing of silica sand.
