Meet the Author

Denise Porcello has been a teacher for 30 years. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two daughters, and a retired greyhound. Denise enjoys traveling, reading, and science. Denise was inspired to write Dinogirl: Young Paleontologist after meeting Clarissa Koos at the DIG Field School for teachers in Hell Creek, Montana, in 2014. She hopes this book inspires all young scientists, especially girls, to follow their hearts.
