Cover Letter

This letter serves to summarize and provide context for my rewarding career as an Exploration, Appraisal, and Development Geophysicist.

Since 2007, I have had the privilege of working in a wide range of roles, basins, depositional environments, and multi-disciplinary teams, as showcased on my resume site and LinkedIn profile. These experiences have shaped me into a versatile geophysicist capable of tackling challenges from high-level regional exploration to detailed field appraisal and development.

I have honed a broad range of skills, including rock physics evaluations, lease sale assessments, prospect maturation, and operational geology & geophysics within the Gulf of Mexico basin. By retaining and expanding my expertise in geophysics, geology, petrophysics, and rock physics, I seamlessly collaborate with peers across disciplines, fostering innovative problem-solving.

Beyond technical expertise, I’ve developed key leadership and communication skills. My roles as a subsurface project leader and my involvement with the Impact A Hero 5K non-profit organization (2011–2017) exemplify my dedication to both professional and personal growth.

My academic foundation includes a B.Sc. in Geophysical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines, where I gained a strong understanding of geophysics, engineering, and problem-solving, and an M.Sc. in Geology from the University of Houston, which deepened my knowledge of petroleum geology processes. Combining this education with hands-on experience at Marathon Oil and Equinor, I have delivered high-impact results that have driven success at both organizations.
