I am a Doctoral student in the Geology department at the State University of
New York at Buffalo and a fellow in the IGERT program. I received my BS in Geology from
Eastern Michigan University in 2001 and a MS in Geology with an emphasis in Surface
Processes at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2004. In the time interval
between finishing my MS and beginning my PhD I was involved in writing and editing papers to be submitted for publication for the Mass Wasting group at UB and teaching Environmental
Science and Physical Geology at ECC. My research interests include the development and
analysis of hydrogeologic models with the aid of GIS as well as the development of methods
and tools to increase the productivity of the information obtained from model output. When
not at school I love spending time with my husband Matthew, son Corbin and awesome dog
Sampson preferably somewhere outdoors.
