About

I have worked hard to get where I am today. After a rough start in my college academic career I was able to attain a Bachelors of Arts degree in Sociology from Oklahoma State University. While attending OSU I attended a few summer archaeology field classes and soon fell in love with the field. Once I graduated from OSU I began my graduate studies in Anthropology in the Spring of 2015. I plan to focus on pre-Columbian Archaeology in Mesoamerica and the American Southwest regions.
As a archaeologist I enjoy the field work most of all; I am a real outdoor person. During the summers when I am not working in the field I often take long trips outdoors where i like to work on my primitive survival skills. I like to really rough it outdoors in order to gain a better understanding on how prehistoric people experienced the world.
