I have engaged in paleontology, geology, and environmental microbiology field work in North America, Europe, and South America while affiliated with the University of Chicago, Field Museum of Natural History, University of Bristol, and Princeton University. Additionally, I have assisted in environmental microbiome sampling of hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, USA as well as marine biology and climate science research in Bermuda during my undergraduate degree at Princeton. I excavated my first dinosaur fossil as a high school volunteer and found my first fossils, Pleistocene to Holocene shark teeth, on the beach in Florida when I was around six years old.
