Over the last 16 years, I have worked for several environmental consulting firms as a Professional Geologist specializing in the assessment and clean-up of contaminated properties. In 2006, I cut back my hours at the environmental firm and started Mini Me Geology (www.minimegeology.com). Mini Me Geology is a site where children, parents and educators can come to learn not only about great rocks and minerals but receive information about the science of geology. We offers rocks from around the world and kits not available anywhere else because I designed them myself with children in mind. Educators and parents can also find project ideas for class or home, children can ask questions at out “Ask a Geologist” section, find free puzzles to encourage learning, as well as curriculum ideas for teachers and homeschoolers. Since starting the business, I have received considerably positive feedback from parents and educators about Mini Me Geology and the fact that she offers more than just a box of rocks, but a real opportunity for children to experience and learn.
