I've always found myself being a selfless team player throughout the years. Whether it was tutoring the University's future Female Scholar Athlete or spending 4 years as an NCAA football offensive lineman, a vital yet unglorified position, I found myself looking at the lasting benefit of my efforts rather than the sacrifices. This eventually allowed me to become part of a multi-discipline research team monitoring groundwater across our region of heavy natural gas extraction. This later expanded into more opportunities to learn and inform others about the influence that natural gas extraction is having on the environment.
