EDUCATION: 

  • Academy of Science and Technology, Oak Ridge High School - 2006
  • Colorado School of Mines, BS in Petroleum Engineering

My internships were some of my best memories from college. They were such great opportunities to get out and experience the practical applications of what I was learning in the classroom and to start getting acclimated to working in industry after college, which made the transition seamless. They were also great networking opportunities! I took a non-traditional path right out of school and started my career in New York working on upstream valuations for independents, majors, and consultants. I am now back in Texas and am a Reservoir Engineer for a small company in East Texas. The SPE-GCS scholarship helped to offset the costs to attend an out of state school and landed me in my first industry internship with Anadarko. My advice to current students is to take every opportunity to network and don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Contact me at tmacintyre@rlacy.com.
