Q&A
What sparked your interest in Anthropology/Archaeology?
I’ve always loved it, even before I knew what it was. I would sit out recess in elementary school to go to the library, where I would read about archaeological discoveries and mythology from many different cultures. When I went to college, I fell in love with cultural anthropology. I became interested in religious systems and how they worked- how they define and influence societies and individuals in positive and negative ways.
