While I have always had an innate interest in the story of life on Earth, learning about history in school really gave me a deeper appreciation for the context of the world in which we live. Immersed in this field and the sciences behind it, I eagerly began to pursue concepts in the class, eventually discovering archaeology. Not only did archaeology provide me with a perfect blend of both humanities and technical sciences that I’ve also loved, but it allowed me to more purposefully understand our history.

Since my first experiences with archaeology, I have immersed myself in various projects, from analyzing extinction patterns in paleozoic fossils to 3d modeling historical artifacts, to creating EN-Cast where archaeologists share real world experiences and advice with viewers. I hope to use Excavation Nations to encourage the spread of archaeological materials among as many interested individuals as possible.

With this work, we are all given an opportunity to realize this remarkable story as a community. With each project begun, artifact excavated, or site established, we receive further insight into the contexts of our lives; This is a cause and a mission that applies to us all as humans.
