Expertise
I am a geoscientist with science communication, science policy, data management, and research experience. My research has primarily been in petroleum reservoir characterization for reserve estimates as well as carbon sequestration and enhanced recovery projects. Projects also include alternative energy investigations, such as enhanced geothermal systems. I also do work with data curation and preservation, with a focus on preserving legacy data (particularly physical samples) in the digital age. One of my goals is to be a science communicator and ambassador, encouraging the public to engage with scientific inquiry.

I am active in the community as well. I've been involved with PTA at the local, council, and state level for many years; I do science education talks aimed at better public understanding; I present school programs (e.g., hands-on classroom demonstrations and large-format assemblies); and I have taught a once a week class in an elementary school for many years. I've been involved with both the Boy Scouts of American and the Girl Scouts of America for many years.

Languages
Fluent in English only. I have basic reading/speaking ability in Spanish, and can understand a few Japanese phrases.
