Brooke works alongside volunteers and interns in the earth sciences paleontology labs to prepare, stabilize, and house fossils. She also works with curators in the earth sciences collections to catalog, label, organize, and properly house microfossils. Brooke is originally from Wisconsin and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Geology from Macalester College in 2023. She started at the Museum as an intern in the vertebrate fossil prep lab in January 2024 and fell in love with paleontology work during the 2024 fieldwork season. Brooke began her time as a part-time staff member this past July, and looks forward to continuing paleontological research and fossil preparation with her amazing team!
