I am a GIS Specialist/Cartographer for the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. I work with field geologists and use ArcGIS, Adobe Illustrator, and Global Mapper to update legacy quadrangles and produce geologic maps for the USGS STATEMAP program.
Although I was born on the northern Piedmont Plateau, I am a native of the southern Rio Grande rift valley. I strive to be the best geologist I can be with the resources I have available. I have found my niche between academia an industry; there is a wealth of work that can be done for those that can establish communication between the two fields.
