  • “My current career goal is a career in Anthropology. I plan on finishing my bachelor's at ULV and then continuing to a graduate program. In grad school, I want to continue studying Anthropology with an emphasis on Paleoanthropology and Archeology. I am interested in studying human evolution and origins, ancient human civilizations and cultures, and prehistoric life. I hope to get both my master's and a PhD in Anthropology. My career goal would be to teach, study, and conduct research as a college professor. I want to work at archeological sites and research and study fossils of hominin and human ancestors to learn more about human history. I love talking about and spreading passion and appreciation about topics that I am interested in and would love to make a career out of it.”

  • “Some things that people may not know about me is that I love acting and was involved in theater productions all through high school and junior college. Other fun facts about me are that I love to read, I can crochet and sew, I love baking and trying new foods, and I love being outdoors and spending time outside.”
