My name is Ariel Berenyi-Tonesi, though I usually just go by Ariel Tonesi. I am a recent graduate from UC Davis in Biology with a minor in Geology, and am excited to start as the new curatorial assistant in the geologic collections. I speak two languages, Italian and English, and hold dual citizenships. Like many others in the field of paleontology, I grew up loving dinosaurs and museums. Having lived in the East Bay my whole life, I quickly learned to love Bay Area paleontology and wanted to work towards aiding in the preservation of natural resources as a whole. Outside of work I enjoy hiking, traveling, and chatting with friends.
