Introducing Jillian R. Cavellier
Geoscience Master's Student at the University of Kentucky
About Me.
My name is Jillian Cavellier.
​
I grew up in a small town in northern New York (about 30 minutes from the Canadian Border) and recently moved myself and my dog to central Kentucky to pursue a Master's Degree in Geoscience.
When I am not working on class assignments or research, you'll likely find me outside somewhere with my dog or looking up the best time to go on my next geology vacation. I have recently visited Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens and Crater Lake in the Pacific Northwest. My next adventure will hopefully begin in Montana's Glacier National Park....
