Summary
I am barely starting my archaeology journey which is why I don't have any experience at the moment. However, I am currently taking a geology class as well as my first hands on archaeology class at San Diego City College. In November, I plan on volunteering and getting certified with the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Paleontology Society. In June, I will also be volunteering as a docent at the Natural History Museum here in Balboa Park. My overall goal is to just get my foot in the door and gain some more experience. Eventually, I would like to shift my focus to paleontology but in the meantime I am open to anything that can help me move forward in this field.
