¡Hola!

¡Hola, bienvenidos! My name is CJ, founder of TheGeoLife.co and creator of GeoLotería. Soy una chingona Mexican-American field geologist, amateur nature photographer turned social media strategist, turned Spanglish geology outreach advocator.
I passionate about making geology accessible and exciting to the public. Most people don't realize that la geología da forma a todo lo que nos rodea.
Mi pasión por la geología takes me to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Albeit, some are quite dangerous and a little sketch!
I also enjoy tumbling down cliffs, fighting bears, jumping over rattlesnakes, licking rocks (for scientific purposes of course), knitting, hiking, playing a fun round de GeoLotería y que no falte watching y escuchando True Crime!
