Building a career in paleontology through field research, geology, and science communication.
CURRENTLY
From film to field science.
I'm a geology student transitioning into paleontology, with a background in film and emerging media production and hands-on field and laboratory experience.
In 2026, I completed a 12-week field research program with the Museum of Texas Tech University at Lubbock Lake Landmark. I'm now continuing my geology education at Los Angeles Pierce College while building experience across paleontology, museum work, field research, and science communication.
