After volunteering for several years, in 2012 I was hired as the Collections Curator of the Cowan Tetrapod Collection. Being the bird specialist at the BBM opens so many doors. From undergraduate involvement to participating in research projects with academics or government scientist my days and weeks are chock-a-block with unrelated projects. Professionally I travel back in time when using century old methods as well as jump forward when I supply samples for cutting edge technology. I love it all!
