For someone whose pockets were always full of rocks as a kid, studying Earth and Environmental Sciences seemed like an obvious choice — but it's a field Quinn Worthington found by chance. After deepening her interest in geology during her undergrad, staying at Waterloo for graduate studies was a no-brainer. In her thesis research, she analyzed rock samples from northwest China to figure out when the Paleo-Asian Ocean closed and the continental landmass of China started to form.
