Previously: Earth Scientist at Chevron Corporation
My main interests are regional studies, tectonics, geodesy, seismic stratigraphy, structural geology, and basin modeling.
My M.S. study involved regional tectonics, stratigraphy, structures, and hydrocarbon potential of the entire Mexican Gulf of Mexico (Supervisors: Drs. Paul Mann and William E. Galloway).
My B.S. study involved GPS geodesy, neotectonics, and seismic hazard of the Central Range Fault of Trinidad and Tobago (Supervisor: Dr. John C. Weber).
My career goal is to work for the oil industry to further my skills in petroleum geology and eventually return to academia to receive a multidisciplinary Ph.D. in energy geosciences.
