Australian Age of Dinosaurs – Collection Supervisor

What did you dream of becoming when you were a child?
An astronaut, artist, archaeologist, or chef?
Perhaps you wanted to be on tv or the silver screen.

Often parents have other ideas for a child’s future, they may see a distinct trait of success in a specific career or expect a child to follow them into the family business.

A dream left unfulfilled can leave its own scars and a void that is never filled.

A couple of weeks ago I met a young woman whose childhood dream is now her reality.

Mackenzie Jordan Enchelmaier, is the Collection Supervisor at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History in Winton, Queensland, Australia.

Raised in a rural area west of Ipswich Queensland, Mackenzie has always been enchanted by nature.

It was 2022 when a once in a lifetime offer, of an internship in Winton changed the course of her career – when I asked Mackenzie how she became so deeply connected to Australia’s dinosaurs she was reminded of a family trip that set the whole story in motion.
