“I love serving this community, I enjoy working outside and providing my expertise in cultural resources as well as youth education concerning both cultural resources and conservation. I believe that all children are curious and I want to model how hard work and dedication can lead to amazing opportunities -after all, archaeologists are just kids who never stopped playing in the dirt.”
