Following below is an archived profile.

I earned my BA in Anthropology from Ohio University and am currently enrolled in the CHRM program at the University of Maryland. I have 5 years of CRM field experience and am currently employed by ASC Group Inc. for the last two years. My interests in the field of archaeology include lithic tool analysis specifically Paleoindian and of the Fort Ancient Culture which is the focus of my thesis. I hope to progress in the CRM field to the position of Field Director or possibly find employment opportunities with a National Forest or Park system. Plans to pursue a doctorate are tentative now but are being looked into.
