I'm Manny but some of you may know me as the Keeper of SSD's, the source of our Science power and embodiment of all that we strive for!... sort of. I'm a 4A (-ish) Geology Student that has dabbled in Geoarchaeology, and Classics with quite a bit of passion for both. I hope to do my thesis in Paleontology this year to try and tie my interests together. My time here at the museum has shown me that I have a deep appreciation for teaching others about the past and I personally feel like this is something I wish to pursue in the future.

On campus, there's a few things I'm passionate about but none quite as much as A Cappella singing and Hip Hop dancing. Both are absolutely fun and make my university experience more vibrant. When I'm not at school, I like to kick back with a good book (perhaps an ancient text), play some video games, run, or go outside and just relax under a tree.

In the field of geology, my areas of interest are geochronology, paleontology, mineralogy, and geomorphology. I've been growing a mineral collection since I started Mineralogy back in second year and it is my hope to acquire as many minerals and fossils as I can.
