Yesterdays are over my shoulder, So I can't look back for too long. There's just too much to see wai

About Me

Over the years I have attended many schools, moved more times than I am old, and had the chance to meet many wonderful people. I graduated in 2003 with my B.S. in Earth Sciences and in 2005 with my M.S. in Geology. In the fall/winter/spring I work at Augustana College as a Paleontology Research Assistant and fossil preprator. This summer I am working as Paleontology Field Coordinator for the Museum of Western Colorado. I plan on going back to school to get my Ph.D. in Geology in the near future. MySpace has been a great place to reconnect with past friends and acquaintances. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to visit my personal website at www.dinochick.com !
