M.S. Student, Geosciences (2021-2023)
​
I have a bachelor’s degree (2020) in geosciences from the Midwestern State University. I am interested in physical geology, geothermal energy, paleoecology, and climate change (with the effects ‘toward’ the coral reefs as the focus). My current thesis research focuses on quantifying on coral reefs within the Turneffe, Glover and Lighthouse reef atolls within the Belize Barrier reef reserve system. I hope to become a great research geologist.

The project I am currently working on is a study to determine whether or not there is morphological change in large benthic foraminifera through the Paleocene-Eocene boundary.
