hydrogeologist iii

About

I am a med. level hydrogeologist work for AECOM. I am interested LNAPL Transmissivity and aquifer testing techniques. I specialize in environmental stable isotopes of water within the Vado see zone. Outside of geology, I love to play ultimate frisbee and travel. Cycling is a new hobby that I will try in the year 2017, so wish me luck!
