Colin Boisvert

Colin Boisvert is a Master's student in the Department of Geological Sciences at BYU from San Jose, California born and raised.

You need to make sure that you will get along, and be studying similar fields. So after realizing Brooks Britt studied similar aspects of paleontology, Colin decided to apply.
