She is a recipient of the WINGS WorldQuest Women of Discovery Award for Earth,[1] National Geographic Explorer, and TEDx speaker.

She attended the Mongolian University of Science and Technology, where she earned a bachelor's degree in geology and a master's in invertebrate paleontology.

[5] In 1996, she joined a paleontology expedition to Mongolia led by American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) paleontologists Michael Novacek and Mark Norell.

She became concerned that very few Mongolians her age and younger were choosing paleontology as a career, despite the large number of well-preserved fossils from her country.

To learn more about training paleontologists, she collaborated with Jack Horner of the Museum of the Rockies,[7] who helped her establish the Institute for the Study of Mongolian Dinosaurs in 2007.

Her doctoral work at City University of New York involved the postcranial skeleton of Multituberculata, especially specimens from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia.
