Bachelor of Science (Geology), 2006, Baylor University, Waco, TX.

Master of Science (Geoscience) 2006-present, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX.




My current master's research is describing and naming a new phytosaur found just outside of Post in Garza County, TX. I also am performing a phylogenetic analysis of phytosaurs to see where this new species fits in the evolutionary tree. My other research interests include vertebrate fauna in the Early Mesozoic (Triassic to Jurassic), especially that of marine reptiles and dinosaurs..
