Summary

During my four months spent on archaeological excavations in Kenya, I used a TOTAL station, GPS unit, and drones to map sites and survey for artifacts. Working at Whole Foods, especially under Amazon, I have completed a variety of tasks with speed and accuracy, while quickly adapting to changing requirements and conditions. I am able to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and communicate effectively with team members and customers in both English and Spanish. I am looking for a position where I can work in the field while putting the skills I have learned to use.
