Hello! I am in my second year of Honours Biology with a minor in Psychology here at the University of Waterloo. Biology and its various disciplines have always been near and dear to my heart, making me eager to learn as much as I can about the field. With this in mind, I am very excited to be working for the Earth Science Museum on the Science Museum and Galleries collection! I am looking forward to combining my love for biology with my newfound knowledge about collection management to create something great with our museum curator and biology experts!

I am a fourth year Honours Anthropology/Archaeology and Arts & Business student with a minor in Fine Arts. My interest is in museums and developing interactive exhibits with an educational focus. This term, I helped create the new “Timeline of Elements” exhibit in the Science & Teaching Complex (STC), featuring a wall mural of the discovery of the elements, a mosaic of Dmitri Mendeleev, and interactive displays about metallurgy, electrolysis, spectroscopy, and nuclear synthesis. Come visit the Timeline of Elements exhibit
