About

I am the Outreach & Engagement Coordinator at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum in Lawrence, KS. Previously I served as the coordinator of the FOSSIL Project at the Florida Museum of Natural History. I have degrees in biology and geology, and my research interests center upon avian bone taphonomy. I am passionate about paleo outreach and I love sharing earth science with the public.
