Between 2009 and 2012 I worked for the Panama Geology Project -PIRE, a unique opportunity for understanding the impacts that the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama had on ancient marine and terrestrial biotas, presented by the Panama Canal expansion. Located at the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) facilities, I developed a collection catalogue for the more of 100.000 specimens recovered during the Panama Canal excavations, and coordinated their use for research. After that, I joined the Invertebrate Paleontology Division of the Florida Museum of Natural History as PhD student.
