Highly motivated geophysics graduate with a strong interest in data science. 6+ years of experience in data management and analysis of large geodetic datasets. Knowledge in analytical and numerical modeling, statistical analysis, and several programing languages.

Research Topic: Refining 4D simulations of the deformation response to the earthquake cycle for the San Andreas Fault System and Kīlauea, HI. This work aims to advance next-generation seismic hazard estimates for complex fault systems. All research is completed through computational analysis of geodetic data, primarily using MATLAB, Python, Unix C-Shell, and FORTRAN languages.
