Biography

I graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2011, earning an Honours BSc in Geological Sciences. For my undergraduate honours thesis I studied the mineralogy and geochemistry of a recently discovered class of mineral deposit in British Columbia. The goal of my work was to assist in creating an exploration model for this deposit type. My main geologic interests involve the processes behind the formation of various ore deposits, and I have worked for Canadian mining companies, completing geologic mapping to explore for economic mineralization. At Cambridge I will work under Dr. Marian Holness, studying the textural and geochemical signatures of late-stage magmatic liquids at the Skaergaard Intrusion in Greenland. I will relate the mineralization processes of the Skaergaard Intrusion to those of the Bushveld Intrusion in South Africa using microstructural analysis and geochemistry. After completing my MPhil in Earth Sciences I plan to pursue a career in economic geology.
