Work Experience:
Precision Alchemy, Portland, OR
Technical Director 10/2017 to 11/2019
Produced high quality, pure plant extracts from biomass through distillation
Developed details SOPs for all laboratory procedures, maintenance manuals and schedules for all laboratory equipment
Successfully designed and conducted experiments that led to a purer end product
Trained new employees to safely operate and properly care for all laboratory equipment
Scheduled external laboratory testing for all end products to ensure purity and safety; created and updated a database of testing records
Implemented and enforced strict safety rules to ensure an OSHA compliant workplace
Led weekly meetings with upper management and laboratory personnel to keep everyone informed and focused on common goals; designed production schedules based on data collected during meetings
Kjeoy Research and Education Center, Vestbygd, Norway
Laboratory Manager, 11/2014 to 06/2017
Sampled kinetic reaction experiments weekly
Analyzed collected samples on a Metrohm 861 Compact IC and Analytic Jena ContrA700 AAS
Compiled and organized data into reports and professional papers
Created SOPs for all in-house analyses and procedures, as well as custom maintenance manuals for laboratory equipment
Instructed students in proper laboratory conduct and basic data analysis
Trained students and new employees to use and properly maintain the IC and AAS, and produce quality, publishable data
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM
Graduate Researcher, 08/2012 to 04/2016
Supervisor: Dana Ulmer-Scholle
Researched dedolomitization and other diagenesis in carbonates in the Permian Reef Complex, NM using polarized light petrography, stable isotope analysis of carbon and oxygen, and microprobe analyses to interpret possible diagenetic environments.
Wrote and defended a Master's thesis based on my studies
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM
Graduate Teaching Assistant, 08/2012 to 05/2014
Supervisor: Phil Kyle
Taught students how to use a petrographic microscope, identify minerals in thin section, and interpret rock origins based on mineral assemblages
Steve Reynolds, Chandler, AZ
Editor, 06/2011 to 08/2012
Supervisors: Steve Reynolds and Julia Johnson
Compiled, organized, and edited images for Exploring Geology textbook, 3rd Edition
Arizona State University, AZ
Lab Technician, 02/2011 to 08/2012
Supervisors: Everett Shock and Steve Ruff
Collected water, soil, and plant samples from various field sites. Prepared samples for analysis and analyzed isotope data from both an Elemental Analysis Ion Ratio and an Inductively Coupled Plasma mass spectrometers and an Ion Chromatograph
Arizona State University, AZ
Teaching Assistant for Field Geology at ASU, May 2011 to June 2011
Supervisor: Thomas Sharp
Trained students how to make geologic maps and write technical reports
Current Research and Interests:
My favorite thing to do is petrography! I am most proficient in carbonate petrography, but I am well practiced in sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic, and ore petrography as well.
I do field mapping for fun sometimes.
Skills:
Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary petrography
