Education

Ph.D. Geology 2024, University of Cincinnati
M.Sc. Geology 2011, The University of Kansas
B.Sc. Geology 2009, Lake Superior State University

Research Interests

• Sedimentary tectonics
• Intracratonic deformation 
• Basin analysis
• Stratigraphy/Sedimentology
• Invertebrate Paleontology/Biostratigraphy

My research addresses the sedimentary tectonics of late Paleozoic North America. Currently, I explore the linkages between intracratonic deformation and sedimentation in North America with the dynamics of continental plate boundaries during the assembly of Pangaea. I work to understand these linkages with a combination of numerical modeling, field mapping, and laboratory methods.
