Historic New Rambler mine area, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, 2023
ABOUT MEExploration Geologist, PhD StudentAs an exploration geologist, I am interested in the mineral deposits and geologic processes that supply society with its most foundational materials. I'm currently working with Buyer Group International, Inc., and Dr. Joseph Biasi on my PhD at the University of Wyoming. My research aims to understand the petrogenesis and hydrothermal mineralization of the historic New Rambler Cu-PGE deposit in the Medicine Bow Mountains, southeastern Wyoming. I hope to use this research to build an applicable model of hydrothermal PGE mineralization within the local geologic context of the Medicine Bow Mountains and also worldwide.

Professional Experience
Exploration Geology
My experience as a consulting geologist has allowed me to work on a variety of deposit types and exploration techniques. I have investigated Au, Cu, Li, graphite, PGE, REE, U/V, and polymetallic mineral deposits across the continental US. My field experiences are geologic mapping, surface sampling, drilling oversight, drill core logging and sampling, and operating geophysical instruments. My office skills include technical writing, reporting, and report assembly, project and database management, map and figure generation, and geostatistical compiling and analysis.

What I'm working on:Shambhala ProjectThe Shambhala Project surrounds the historic New Rambler Cu-PGE deposit in southeastern WY, one of the few documented cases of hydrothermal PGE mineralization in the world. Understanding its formation and relevant geologic processes could be invaluable for exploring future sources of PGEs, which are critical for innovation and green technology.
