Outreach Activities
As someone from a non-traditional, homeschooled background, I am passionate about finding ways to disseminate my field to those of unconventional backgrounds.
I have engaged in paleontological outreach activities for over eleven years. Throughout my career, I participated in numerous tabling events, “pop-up” museums, and volunteer digs aimed towards amateur enthusiasts and the general public. Some of my outreach projects seek to introduce people to paleobotany in unexpected settings (e.g., climbing gyms). I am currently working to help design science kits themed around paleobotany for usage at high schools in the Wind River Reservation. I am also a proud coach for First Tech Challenge.
In 2020, I helped a Thai colleague design and edit the English language portions of a book (Wonders of Petrified Wood) aimed at exploring the history, human impact, minerology, biology, and beauty of petrified wood for a general audience. This book compliments the fossil wood exhibits at the Wonders of Petrified Wood Museum in Sukhothai, Thailand.
