  • Education

    • Caltech

      2005 - 2010
      Bachelor of Science - BS Geophysics and Seismology
    • The University of Texas at Austin

      2010 - 2015
      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences

      During my Ph.D, I investigated the timing and rate of uplift of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia using a variety of methods including sedimentary provenance, thermochonology, and the reconstruction of paleoelevations with organic geochemical proxies.Publications are linked below:

      Jan 2008 - Aug 2008
      Systems Analysis Intern - Energy Innovations, Inc

      Worked as an intern at Energy Innovations, a company that was developing a concentrating solar panel designed for residential or small-scale applications. Ran models to compare the performance of the concentrating panel array to traditional photovoltaic arrays in order to determine where the designed product would be most competitive. I also worked on a project to characterize the failure characteristics of actuators being used in the product and another small project to develop VB scripts for Microsoft Vizio to help identify bottlenecks in manufacturing process diagrams.

      Geoscience Intern

      Interpreted seismic data in the Gulf of Mexico to identify and evaluate sub-salt (Wilcox) prospectivity in an area of Keathley Canyon. During this work, I identified several leads, performed a volumetric evaluation and risk assessment and compared them to nearby drilled prospects.

      • Responsible for developing, improving, and maintaining a predictive analytics model to forecast well production, and creating BI dashboards to communicate to management and end-users.• Developed custom techniques to interrogate a random forest model and provide transparency into the model’s decision-making.• Designed, implemented, and maintained SQL database architecture and ETL tools to support data curation for the analytics model and for business dashboarding needs. • Nominated to be the geoscience representative to the Applied Data Analytics technical community; served as a liaison between the central analytics team in IT and the business.• Mentored and trained other team members and early-career geoscientists in analytics, statistics, and data management in SQL. Show less 1st Rotation: May 2015-October 2015. Offshore Production - Equatorial Guinea. Worked with Hess's Equatorial Guinea team to evaluate a near-field exploitation opportunity in a mature producing asset. During this rotation, I gained experience with seismic interpretation, 4D seismic, seismic inversion products and pre-stack seismic interpretation.2nd Rotation: October 2015-October 2016. Exploration: Mexico / Campeche BasinEvaluated the blocks available in the first deepwater bid round for the Campeche Basin. Identified, assessed volumes and risk on prospects in 2 key blocks, presented findings and technical recommendations to management and industry partners. Skills from this rotation: sesimic interpretation, volume and risk assessment, prospect evaluation, characterization of depositional systems using Paleoscan.3rd Rotation: October 2016-May 2017. Onshore Production: Bakken Regional Subsurface TeamEvaluated a method for creating 1-D forward models of natural fracture intensity from geomechanical data and basin history. Ran a Monte-Carlo analysis to characterize the sensitivity and robustness of the model to uncertain inputs, and presented finding and recommendations to the team. Skills from this rotation: analysis of geomechanical data, geomechanical modeling, statistical analysis. Show less
