EDUCATION:  Somerville High School - 2008 Texas Tech University, BS in Petroleum Engineering

My favorite college memory was Freshman year, watching Texas Tech knock off then ranked #2 Texas at the last minute with a miracle touchdown throw to Michael Crabtree. I have worked as a field engineer with Schlumberger Wireline Evaluation Services since graduating. I've worked all over Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, & Alabama, and also have done work in Alberta, Canada. My position has allowed me to work on all different kinds of wells, from ones in fields that have been producing since the 1940s, to fields that are still being discovered and mapped out with the data that we acquire with wireline tools. One of the main advantages of all the different scholarships I received both from Texas Tech and from groups like SPE was that I was able to go through school with a full-time job of being a student. Had I not received financial aid, I would have had to work part-time jobs during the semesters, and would most likely have spent a much longer amount of time in school. My advice to students is don't take the opportunity given to you of attending a university and earning a college degree for granted. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to educate yourself at such a high level, and should be enjoyed and respected accordingly.
