Anthropology major with a minor in history, from Dwight
Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, Mountainair, New Mexico
"In my major, it’s important to gain as much practical experience as possible if you are serious about getting into a graduate program for archaeology. I had already done my field school experience in Hungary, so I was interested in learning more about professional archeology."
"My advisor is very proactive about students’ out of school experiences. She knew I wanted something to do during the summer, and she suggested I contact a K-State alumnus working for the National Park Service at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument in New Mexico."
"Be outgoing! I struggled with moving out of my comfort zone during my field school in Hungary, but after surviving that I was really able to appreciate what a great opportunity it would be to go to Salinas Pueblo. If you have a hard time overcoming your anxieties, you may not get the most out of your internship experience."
