"We are really lucky in Queen鈥檚 GeoSci and GeoEng to receive an education that is near top-ranked in our field, and still benefit from a smaller department size. It鈥檚 rare to receive such excellent education and feel like you are in a tight-knit community all at once. It鈥檚 definitely made all the difference in my post-secondary studies. I have met the most wonderful people in this field and at Queen鈥檚!"
Hometown: Kingston, ON
Graduate Research Focus: Muon Tomography to monitor depletion in SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) reservoirs.
Why I chose to do graduate studies:
I discovered geophysics in undergrad and wanted an opportunity to pursue it as a career!
Why Queen鈥檚?:
I am lucky that Queen鈥檚 is one of the best schools in Canada in our field and I grew up in Kingston, so it鈥檚 the best of both worlds to study here.
What do you like to do in your spare time?:
I like to spend time with family, travel, and watch Survivor- multiple re-runs of all 39 seasons.
What鈥檚 next for you?:
I am working on my research with CRM Geotomography Technologies in Vancouver. I am really enjoying muon research in geology and hope to continue this type of work after I graduate. If I could do that and be a contestant on Survivor I would be ecstatic.
