EDUCATION:  Tomball High School - 2008 University of Texas at Austin, BS in Petroleum Engineering

My favorite college memory was being exposed to geology and rock mechanics as part of my petroleum degree. I have worked as a drilling engineer at a major oil company for three years. I've gotten to work in both onshore and offshore environments and have lived in three different states. I am currently working on deep water subsea interventions. The SPE-GCS scholarship shaped both my education and career path. I didn't know much about petroleum or engineering before I went to college but the SPE scholarship pushed me in that direction and I'm so grateful it did. I got to thrive in a major that I wouldn't have considered if it weren't for this scholarship. I now have a great education and have a job that I love, all because of the help the SPE scholarship gave me. My advice to students is that cultivating a great work ethic in school will benefit you tremendously. Keep your grades up and remember to have fun with your major.
