I am currently a faculty member at Front Range College in Longmont, Colorado. I teach a variety of geospatial science courses, advise students on their capstone/practicum projects, and head the GeoEx internship program where students are set up with internship opportunities within the field of GIS. Throughout your program at FRCC, you will learn GIS through various software, field techniques, and field equipment. It is my primary goal that you leave FRCC with not only geospatial science theory, but also in practice through developing your own projects as well as communicating your work to the public. If any of this interests you, please get in contact with me using the “contact me” button at the bottom of this page!

In August of 2010 I started attending Texas State University, where I eventually received my bachelor's degree in 2013 studying physical geography, geology, and GIS. While at Texas State I was president of the geology club, tutored for both historical and physical geology, served as an elected senator, and was the chair of the Academic Enrichment Committee in student government. From my time at Texas State I knew that I eventually wanted to go on to earn both a master's and PhD while conducting my own research and instructing. I received my masters in geology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette focusing on the hydrology of intermittent rivers. In June 2023 I received my PhD from UCLA where I focused on geomorphology and aeolian landscape evolution in the GALE (Geomorphology and Aeolian Landscape Evolution) lab ran by Mackenzie Day.
