Summary

Driven by a results-focused approach, I leveraged my expertise in livestock management and team collaboration at my father's ranch to enhance operational efficiency and team performance. Demonstrating strong problem-solving skills and a positive attitude, I spearheaded innovative solutions that significantly improved ranch productivity and employee engagement.

I have worked hard for years to have the knowledge and skill that I do now. I am excellent with learning and have wonderful people skills which I think makes me an ideal fit for practically any position you'd like to give me!

I am quite intelligent and learn rapidly! My jobs vary and seem random but I do them to gain skill and knowledge that I know I may need in the future.

Over-all I am quite passionate about my biological anthropology and forensic archaeology pathways! I will always do my best for you! I have been described as a, "Headstrong and passionate young woman who is always going above and beyond expectations."

My time in the Osteology museum proved to be useful as I gained not only human anatomy knowledge but various animal anatomy knowledge as well! As of now I am working in the Biological Anthropology Lab on the Wichita State campus and have already been taken out to oversee body farm work and I have been ranked quite highly when it comes to going over cadavers and analyzing the bones.
