From 2025 to the present, I have been an iNaturalist Ambassador. Helping people with the iNaturalist app and onboarding new people on the world’s largest citizen science project in history.
From February 2012 to the present, I have hosted at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History, explaining displays and answering guests' questions. In addition, prep-lab work involves extracting fossils from the matrix in which they are found.
From June 2009 to July 2009, I worked at the HARP Field School in Kapaau, Hawaii, under the direction of Dr. McCoy and Dr. Graves. I participated in the excavation of three archaeological sites and the recovery of artifacts. I also surveyed areas, entered data, and created maps with proprietary tools.
Worked with Dr. Sherry Nelson at the University of New Mexico on dental microwear analysis on teeth from February 2009 to June 2009, where I created molds of teeth from primates that were viewed under a microscope to determine the eating habits of an organism while it was alive.
