Goals and interests
- Career goal
I would love to work in the mining/hydrocarbon industry after graduating to further use my acquired knowledge and skills to improve the activities in the industry. This includes exploration, exploitation, site assessment and remediation and environmental management.
- Graduate school interests
My intention to pursue masters degree is because of the adverse impact of mining activities I have observed when working in the field. Ball State University gave me the opportunity to learn advance knowledge and skills in environmental site assessment and remediation. My research work involves assessing heavy metals concentration in the sediments of the White River in Muncie.
- Outside the classroom
Swimming, reading, hiking, soccer, going out, movies, pool etc.
