Undeclared LIVES
Amanda Tomlinson ’20 recently joined an international engineering and environmental consulting firm after completing a graduate degree in geoscience with a concentration in earth processes and global change at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. But as an undergraduate at Berry, she didn’t have a clear career direction until taking an introductory course in environmental science and then connecting with Associate Professor of Geology Tamie Jovanelly. “When I was unsure of what I wanted to do, Dr. Jovanelly immediately took me under her wing to help me discover my passions and what I wanted to pursue,” she says.
