other

I was born and raised in Anderson, SC. In 2004, I enrolled at The University of South Carolina where I completed my Bachelor's in Geology in May 2009. I am continuing my education by pursuing an M.S. in Geology. In my free time I enjoy Gamecock baseball and football, outdoor sports, and backflips. My favorite way to preserve my sanity is to jump out of airplanes on the weekends with nothing but an altimeter and a parachute. Recently, I earned my A-license in skydiving, and I am currently working to obtain my B-license.


news

I recently returned from conducting field work in Antarctica and Chile, aboard the Laurence M. Gould and Northanger respectively, where I collected rock samples from the northern Antarctic Peninsula for my thesis.


My first manuscript has been published (Barbeau et al., 2010, Antarctic Science).
