Additional Information

Participated in the Chaffey College STEM Summer Research Opportunity Program (Summer 2017 and 2018) During my tenure at the San Bernardino County Museum, I collaborated closely with the Geologist/Curator, primarily contributing to the mineral exhibit project. My responsibilities encompassed collections management, involving the classification of rocks and minerals according to the Dana Classification System. This role provided a comprehensive education in the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of various geological specimens utilized in the mineralogy exhibit. I am proud to have played a significant role in the setup and execution of this project, leveraging my expertise as a college student. The experience not only facilitated the realization of a successful exhibition but also enriched my knowledge within my academic discipline. Working alongside the Geologist/Curator, whose specialization lies in vertebrates, afforded me the invaluable opportunity to delve into animal comparative anatomy and explore the intricate taxonomy of scientific nomenclature.
