About

I am an Anthropology/Archaeology student at Youngstown State University. I started college in 2008, but due to health challenges, my schooling has taken longer than expected. I have overcome these challenges and persevered throughout the toughest of times and come out stronger and better than before. I have so far attended one archaeology field dig on San Salvador, Bahamas looking for Lucayan artifacts, and am planning further trips in the future. I am planning on doing my undergraduate research project on bush medicine of the Bahamas and specialize in Medical Anthropology. I have future plans to travel to Tuscany, Italy and London, England in the future to study abroad and experience new cultures. My expected graduation date is May 2017 with plans to go directly to graduate school.
