Bio

I am a first generation college graduate. My parents worked in factories and have a farm in Kentucky where we raised cattle, corn, tobacco, soybeans, alfalfa, and gardens.
I earned a BS in Geology & Geography and MS in Geography from Murray State University in Kentucky. After a Field Geology trip out West, I decided I wanted to move somewhere new, which ended up being Tucson, AZ. I earned a MS in Geosciences and PhD in Geography from the University of Arizona. I've done research on groundwater pollution, volcanic eruptions, tree-rings, climate change, and biogeography.
