Students? Pay Attention! Be sure to check out that is to say, investigate, (humph), certain other useful pieces of terminology at the 7V-WOW Archives.

Jenny taught at a private school for five years before moving on to her current  position as an Assistant Coordinator of the Moveable Museum Program at the American Museum of Natural  History. She is a paleontology educator and her classroom is housed inside a 37 foot Winnebago,which allows her to bring dinosaurs to schools that are otherwise unable to come to the museum itself. 
 
 

She is currently assisting with the paleontology content for the  Museum’s renovated Discovery Room, which is designed to allow young children and  their caregivers hands-on museum experiences. (opening in May 2001 to the public) 

When Jenny is not on the road teaching about dinosaurs, she can usually be found with a book in her hand.  Reading is one of the loves Jenny has  enjoyed ever since she  was a little girl. Aside from books, she adores her husband, to whom she was recently  married.  (of course, they met at the AMNH on the softball team, named aptly enough,  the Raptors.)  Jenny also loves surfing the ‘net and traveling to different cities. 

One of the most memorable trips was to Wyoming as a participant in an AMNH expedition for fossil mammals. Jenny had a wonderful experience collecting data in the field under the hot sun, living in a tent filled with sand, and spending hours on her hands and knees searching for fossils, including the enameled teeth of Eocene ungulates. It was Jenny’s first time out in the field, and she plans to return, if only to revisit the scent of the sagebrush and face her fear of the elusive "Snattlerakes”, which was instilled by Malcolm McKenna.
