Summary

As an undergrad history and anthropology major I am interested in any position related to either field but more specifically historical and archaeological research and assisting positions. My attention to detail, thorough work ethic, and critical thinking skills offer valuable skills when dealing with fast paced environments and collaborative environments as well as independent study. I am eager to learn and work in these fields.
