I just finished my junior year of college studying Cultural and Historic Preservation. During the school year I'm a subject tutor. I really like archaeology, have finished the field school I was in. I enjoy it immensely and am so happy that I transferred schools to get the opportunity to dig. Now I have a job cleaning and cataloging everything that was found as well as using a resistivity meter to survey potential sites and digging at a new site. This is shaping up to be my best summer ever. I am now looking at grad schools for CHP, archaeology, and anthropology. If you know of a good school, let me know.

I also enjoy mythology from all cultures, surveying historic properties, and looking at Land Evidence Records and city directories.I love photography and I hope to someday soon be able to sell some of my photos.

I have five cats. I'd have more if I could.

The last book I read for pleasure was A Certain Slant of Light.

"Making it" for me would be to be able to go on archaeological digs and to run a small feline shelter out of my house.
