Brief Description of Education & Experience
I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in anthropology and underwater archaeology from Indiana University. I am currently pursuing a PhD in anthropology at Indiana University.
As an undergraduate student, I also studied biology, Spanish, and underwater resource management.
I have underwater archaeological fieldwork experience in the Caribbean and Lake Michigan, ranging from pre-contact sites to 16th-20th century shipwrecks. I am an open water scuba instructor through the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, where I also hold a speciality instructor rating in "Orientation to Underwater Archaeology."
I have conducted terrestrial archaeological excavation in New Mexico.
