| About Me | I worked through high school as a file clerk, and instead of putting my savings towards college, I decided instead to backpack through Europe alone for one year. During this exploration through Europe, I saw paintings I had seen in books, left flowers at Jim Morrison’s grave, worked as a roof layer in southern France, cried at Auschwitz, skied in Norway, and ended the trip studying art history and Italian culture for another four months in Florence. Being away from the United States reinforced my interest in culture and photography, teaching me much about myself and more about my country. Upon returning home, I worked as a studio photographer and found myself at the local community college again. Restless, I spent the next summer working in a salmon cannery in Togiak, Alaska. Then I began college at California State University, Sacramento where I graduated with a triple major in Anthropology, Photography, and Journalism three years later. Through college I worked in various jobs that included a docent at a California history museum and as a HIV/AIDS health educator. After field school and falling in love with the desert, I pursued numerous archaeology related jobs in labs and in the field that sent me around California and the Great Basin. I worked for a summer in Bishop as an Assistant Archaeologist with BLM and for projects with Far Western, the Archaeological Research Center, and the State Archaeological Collections Research Facility. For grad school I searched for a program that would combine my interests of Archaeology and Visual Anthropology. I received my Masters of Art degree in Visual Anthropology from the University of Kent in England. Three days after submitting my thesis, I was married on a remote bluff the California coast to a man I had met in an elevator after a journalism class (I guess the Journalism major paid off in the end). My husband Tom and I moved to Lake Tahoe where we lived for two years house sitting, car camping, snowshoeing and hiking. During this time, I completed an AmeriCorps service, worked for California State Parks on the West Shore, and as an Archaeologist for the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest out of the Sparks, Nevada office. This survey work was incredibly rich and amazing. I tripped over sites day after day, again inspiring my spirit. I was fortunate enough to begin teaching Anthropology at the local community college in South Lake Tahoe. Between jobs, we made time to travel to Thailand to see the monkeys and temples, to Jamaica to eat ox tail and go snorkeling, and to Peru to hike the four day trek on the Inca Trail through the mountains to Macchu Piccu. Tom and I moved to downtown Sacramento to reconnect with old friends and the independent arts scene. I currently work part time as an Assistant State Archaeologist and teach Anthr...(read more) |
