EDUCATION: 

  • Strake Jesuit High School - 2011
  • Texas A&M University, BS in Petroleum Engineering

During my time spent at Texas A&M, my favorite courses were Petroleum Economics and Reservoir Simulation. I began my career in June of 2015 as a Reservoir Engineer with Matador Resources. This SPE-GCS scholarship helped me pay for my tuition and assisted me financially during my college years. The application process and interviews also gave me insight into the industry before I attended Texas A&M. Receiving this scholarship brought me closer to reaching my goal of becoming a Reservoir Engineer and I'm very thankful for the opportunity SPE provided me. My advice to students is that the career at the end of all your hard work in college is worth it! Contact me at msasso@matadorresources.com
