Where my archaeological experience comes from- where you can look for advice from colleagues as well.

To those who don't know me I originally started out as a volunteer with the Greater Richmond Chapter of the Archeological Society of Virginia in Va from 2003-2006.  See link below...

All of this while attending classes at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond.  I then with this background transfered to the College of William and Mary where I studied Geology and Anthropology from 2005-2008.  See link below...

Upon Graduating from William and Mary wíth a bachelors of science degree in Geology with a minor in Anthropology in 2008 I worked at the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville from 2008 till 2009.  See link below...

After working with this affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution I decided to try to work towards a degree in Geochemistry at Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University- but found that my passion for analytics could not rival my passion for Maritime History and as VT does not have a good Anthropology program I transfered my education to The University of Southern Denmark.  See link below...

While this has not been ideal these are some institutions and websites I have found through experience to be helpful as well as that of the ASV below- we all come from humble first starts.

Remember that any person can make a dream come true- it just takes longer for some than others.  I will post other useful links as they become apparent.
