My primary field of study is Structural Geology, or the deformation recorded in Earth's rocks as a result of tectonic stresses. Currently I am conducting a kinematic analysis of faults of the Rio Grande rift in Trans-Pecos Texas and northern Chihuahua, toward comparing modeled strain of this part of the rift with its counterpart in New Mexico. This research is part of a PhD study through the University of Texas at El Paso, from whom I'll receive a PhD for this and other projects in 2023.
I also have great interest in science education in general and Geoscience Education in particular, and am a member of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers.
Additionally, I serve on the board of the local nonprofit Alpine Humane Society.
