I am currently in my first year of a Ph.D. program in the Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Department at SUNY at Buffalo.  My research interest includes ecosystem restoration, groundwater modeling, GIS and environmental policy.

I recently completed my M.S. in environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in 2006 and have moved back to the northeast.  Originally from Patterson, New York I completed my B.S. in environmental engineering at SUNY at Buffalo and have come back for my Ph.D. 

When not on campus, I enjoy running, skiing, traveling and simply visiting with family and friends in and out of the Buffalo area.  My very long term goal is to eventually run a marathon; however, I have a lot of training ahead of me.
