My name is Cate Corry and I am from Denver, Colorado. I’ve loved the natural world for all my life, so pursuing a career and education in science was an obvious choice. Although I’m not sure exactly what I want to do after graduation, I know I will have many careers (hopefully including professional whale watching, scuba diving, or paleontologist). I am also driven to improve the world around me, including both human life and the natural world. In my free time, I collect gems, minerals, and fossils, volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as a fossil preparator, and crochet. I absolutely love travel and have been to all 50 U.S. States and 13 countries. My next goal is to visit every continent and every U.S. National Park!
