   abstract: "\"I have worked for the USGS from 2006 until present, a period that\
     \ includes a SCEP appointment during my Ph.D., and as a Research Geologist (2009\u2013\
     present).  My research is focused on (1) the structure and tectonics of the\
     \ Appalachian orogen; (2) the provenance of the different crystalline terranes\
     \ of the Blue Ridge and Piedmont; and (3) the thermochronologic evolution of\
     \ the orogen.  I have integrated geologic mapping, structural analysis, SHRIMP\
     \ U-Pb geochronology, petrology, and geochemistry into my research.  Currently,\
     \ I am involved with bedrock geologic mapping projects in the Blue Ridge \u2014\
     \ Mount Rogers area, VA\u2013NC\u2013TN, and Roan Mountain, NC\u2013TN \u2014\
     \ and in New England \u2014 southwest NH and parts of VT.\""
