PROFESSIONAL
SUMMARY Up and coming geologist seeking to acquire additional expertise in the field, namely with paleontology and vertebrate evolution. Over the course of my academic and professional career, several skills have been instilled within me such as multi-tasking, communication and cooperation with others, problem solving, and especially quantitative reasoning. As a geologist, I find complex spatial issues intriguing, while my experience with high level mathematics has taught me to exercise patience when faced with difficulties. The experiences I have acquired over the course of my education and in customer service has molded me into a person that values organization, cooperation, integrity, honesty, knowledge acquisition, self-improvement, and above all else, efficiency: I never stop working until a job is completed correctly.
