Welcome to my homepage.  I am a graduate student at Michigan Technological University, persuing a master's degree in geology.  My research, hobby, and passion is volcanology.  My specific interest is in hazard prediction.  My first hands on encounter with volcanology was a volunteer position at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, in the spring of 2002.  The experience was amazing and crystallized my determination to become a volcanologist.  My goal is to become a well-rounded geologist, developing skills that are valuable for hazard prediction and mitigation.


People I've worked with-  thanks for the guidance and encouragement!
