Curiosity is one of my strongest character traits, which is what fuels my passion for engineering and geology. As a student at James Madison University, I am encouraged to explore my academic interests and develop a diverse skill set. Currently, I am able to harness my curiosity by developing a capstone project that combines technical skill sets from both engineering and geology. Click here to see the progress of the project.

Growing up in a small rural town did not prohibit me from meeting diverse people or from traveling to many places. I have been to Maine, Florida, Washington, Wyoming, California, Belize and many more places. Seeing so many different landscapes in the United States is what helped develop my passion for geology. 

With these two passions, I hope to be a part of an industry that has more meaning than just profits or regulations. I want to educate myself so I am able to impact the world through the engineering and scientific communities. With having creative confidence and a human-centered design approach, I know these goals will be possible.
