Previous Affiliations: HBSc at Brandon University ; Industry work with Hudbay, Minto, and GeoMinEx

Best Field Experience: Anytime that sudden clarity comes while looking at rocks (which seems to correspond with when the bugs die down)

Current Work: Determining the geologic setting and structural controls of the Eagle River deposit (an active gold mine)

Honours BSc Candidate with Noah (Started: April 2022)

Favorite Animal: Fickle with choosing favorite things... but I've always liked birds: crows and chickadees in particular

Previous Affiliations: Rogue archeologist

Best Field Experience: Mapping with the structure group this summer along the Minas, Morin, and Quetico fault systems. Genuinely enjoyed just being outside, looking at different outcrops, and seeing the application of what I've learned throughout my time at school

Current Work: Quantifying water contents in mylonites from Morin / Analyzing cataclasite compositions and sources from Clarke Head
