Summary

I am a senior student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the process of completing a major in History and Anthropology as well as a minor in archaeology, I work in multiple museum positions at UW. (tour guide, fossil prep, and curation). Furthermore, my academic and work time is split with dedication to a fellowship project aimed at educating native youth through paleontology/paleontological material. After graduation, I have aspirations of pursuing further education and employment in my fields of interest, namely through science communication and community outreach efforts.
