Natural History Museum outreach
Between 2012 and 2018, I participated in numerous outreach events through the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. These events, which included the annual Meet the Mammals as well as special after-hours NiteLife events and members behind-the-scenes nights, allowed me to hone my science communication skills and interact with members of the public of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of education. Since moving to the Field Museum in 2018, I have continued to enjoy sharing natural history with the public at Members’ Night, Behind the Scenes tours, ID Day, and Field Associates Young Professional events. During the Covid-19 lockdown, my enthusiasm for mammals could not be contained, so I joined Field Museum outreach programs online!
There’s nothing like spending the day talking about animals with people of all ages who are ready to learn! Check out the Field Museum's schedule of upcoming events! Maybe I'll see you there.
