I recently joined the Gulf Coast Carbon Center and am currently the archivist for the Cranfield Secarb Phase III project datasets. I also calculate and analyze historical and current Cranfield CO2 injection, production, and recycling data. Additionally, I am the student coordinator for the program.

I serve as the Public Information Geologist as part of the Bureau's role as the Texas Geological Survey. I actively work with the Bureau's K-12 outreach program that includes the annual Austin Earth Science Week career fair, the annual Texas Conference for the Advancement of Science Teachers (CAST), the JSG GeoFORCE program, student and teacher field trips, and other activities.
