As a child, I wanted to be a geologist, before I knew precisely what a geologist did. The signs were everywhere, but my initial confirmation came at the age of six (6) after a Sunday afternoon drive with my parents through the oil fields of South, Trinidad. Upon returning home, I engineered my own little version of a crude-mini oil field with duct tape, thread, thread spools, sticks, and my Lego set; all for Barbie to operate of course. Thus I pursued geology through out my whole academic career; from primary to tertiary level. My desire to learn and investigate has been continuously encouraged by my family and educators, and I can not wait to share and encourage future young scientist.
