Through my professional and prior graduate-school experience, I have conducted field work related to paleontology, geology, and environmental microbiology (i.e., sampling for metagenomics). My field localities have spanned North America, Europe, and South America in affiliation with the University of Chicago, Field Museum of Natural History, and University of Bristol. Specifically, these include Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Missouri, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

During my undergraduate degree at Princeton University, I assisted in environmental microbiome sampling of hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, USA, as well as marine biology and climate science field research in Bermuda in partnership with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences. My undergraduate courses also gave me geology field experience in Spain, France, Utah, New Mexico, the Catskills, Kentucky, and the Delaware Water Gap. While at Princeton, I engaged in independent paleontology and geology field work as part of my Senior Thesis research.

I excavated my first dinosaur fossil in Montana as a high school volunteer. When I was around six years old, I found my first fossils (Pleistocene to Holocene shark teeth) on the beach in Florida.
