I serve as a hydrogeologist and geophysicist at the Iowa Geological Survey with responsibilities related to groundwater quality, monitoring, modeling, and aquifer exploration.

I earned my BS in environmental science with a geoscience focus from the University of Iowa, an MS in hydrogeology from Illinois State University, and a PhD in geology from Louisiana State University. I worked for an environmental consulting company in Ankeny for three years between my BS and MS.

Research interests:

• Water resource sustainability
• Groundwater flow and quality
• Karst processes
• Geophysical applications to hydrogeologic questions
