She is a member of the Explorers' Club in New York, the Society for Historical Archeology and the Paleontological Society. She is also a museum consultant in paleontology and a specialist in the fieldwork of paleontology and the fossil inclusions in amber from the Dominican Republic and Chiapas, Mexico. “I do this type of work, like my other passions, mainly because I’m like a child who never grew up… I love to look for and find things. The thrill of discovery is a real emotion… like a “rush”… the excitement is worth the days or months of hard work… and keeps me going on and on… looking for more. I’ve been very lucky in my life to be able to follow what I wanted to do. Like the others… I do this because it’s great! To try to rationalize the reason for following this career (and the paleontology fieldwork), it is to further education… knowing the past is important… but really I just selfishly love this work.” -from Franck Goddio Society online biography
