I am a senior majoring in Geology. I plan to get my Master's in Geology/Hydrogeology from Okstate or Texas A&M. I want to work in some kind of exploration after that, either oil and gas or water. I currently work in the HBRC geochemistry lab doing research over stable isotopes, applying their use in proxy data to follow and track contamination in our environment and also using them to examine paleoclimate.

Mexican food, Italian food, and Thai food - In that order 

What do you like best about OSU?

Some of my favorite things about OSU include the diversity and ever changing population of the students and faculty, the accessibility to grow your knowledge on your own such as undergrad. The atmosphere is what I fell in love with when I was young, going to football games and basketball games and seeing the hectic but fun environment. That's truly what made me dream of coming here.
