RELEVANT CONTENT KNOWLEDGE
• state and federal culture resource laws

• ethical issues related to public and contract archaeology
• archaeological methodologies (literature review, curation, contract reports)
• national register of historical places eligibility and nomination
• compilation of archaeological laboratory reports
Overview:
My main focus as an Anthropologists and archeologists includes the study the origin,
development, and behavior of humans. The similarities and differences displayed within
the cultures, languages, archeological remains, and physical characteristics of people in
various parts of the world leads to a broader understanding of the challenges faced in
today's society.
Interest
I have a strong interest in Vernacular architecture with a focus on historic barns and
spring hotels around Kentucky and the stories behind the structures. Folk Art and artisans
with a strong emphasis on the stories behind the artist is a road I would like to explore
more. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and everyone should have the right to
have their story told or at least listened to by an open ear and a kind heart. It is not our
role in life to judge one another but rather to help and inspire others in life.
