“I have been intrigued by fossils and rocks since I was old enough to know what they were. And after my second geology course, historical geology, I was hooked. Dr. Page Quinton was a huge factor in me declaring my major. Her passion for geology and paleontology really resonated with me, and the more I learned, the more I became excited to know more and more. It’s truly extraordinary that so much can be determined about the history of the earth just from the rocks and formations from different eras.”
