Other Experience/ Skills:
   I have worked with numerous volunteer programs in early childhood education and afterschool programs, including art and drama classes and Odyssey of the Mind. I also was the President of a University organization and the Ass't Art Editor of a University publication for two years, and held many other executive positions in other organizations over the years (University). I was a member of the Woodstock Art Association in NY, and the American Radio Relay League. While in NY, I was an summer intern at a local newspaper, working with the Ass't Editor and Photographer on articles as well as creating a photo essay: "Return of Dairy Farming to Delaware County." My skills, other than obtained through day-to-day work in field archaeology include but are not limited to:

Quicken	Photography and Art	Creative Writing
Adobe Photoshop	MS Office Programs in general	Web Design
HTML	Languages: French, some Hebrew	Claris Works

 
Statement of Purpose:    I am looking to use my degree in Art as well as minor in Anthropology in any field related to the two. I have great experience working in the field and have a great love of doing so. The thrill of discovery is wonderful! In addition, I am extremely interested in community relations and programs that help educate people, especially youth. I try to bring all my skills into play here, and work very well with people of all ages.
   I am wonderful with children and customer relations. I have excellent phone skills, and have been praised for my ability to persuade. Along with precise and sensitive artistic talent, I have a good knack for writing and editing. I think it is very important in any career to use whatever skills you have in conjuntion with everone else's skills to achieve your goals. My goal is to hopefully gain enough experience to persue my Master's and eventually Doctorate in Archaeology relating to some aspect of Art.
