What I'm looking for

I’m looking for entry opportunities in archaeological fieldwork and lab support where I can document archaeological context, clean and catalog artifacts, and contribute to cultural heritage research while learning from experienced teams.

I’m an Anthropology student at Michigan State University with a Minor in History, and I’m building my career through hands-on archaeology work. In the MSU Campus Archaeology Program, I worked as an Archaeological Technician from May 2025 to July 2025, supporting archaeological field research.

In the field, I used shovel test pits and screening to excavate cultural remains and recorded artifact depth and soil composition to document archaeological context. I also cleaned and catalogued artifacts to ensure preservation of cultural heritage, and I continue that work through volunteer support in the MSU Archaeology Laboratory.
