Another Senior Spotlight this time I wanna introduce myself! I am currently the Social Media Leader as well as the student manager at the Rutgers Geology Museum! 🦖 I started working here as a federal work study student in 2022 and this year I have been a student manager! I’m currently majoring in Accounting and my future plans consist of enjoying my summer and starting full time in November at SAX LLC!! 🎉

I’m sad to leave the museum and will miss being part of this environment with amazing coworkers and managers! It has been a wonderful 4 years being part of the museum! It really feels like home here! 🦕
