Academic Area: Anthropology
Scholar Biography:
I am majoring in Anthropology with a Language Studies minor. I intend to pursue a doctorate in Anthropology with a focus on language and abstract thought in early humans through genetic and fossil analysis.
In addition to the McNair program, I am a member of the University Honors Program, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and Earth Science and Anthropology Clubs, and am active in my local church. I also volunteer with the OneSight and Hometown Day programs, both of which provide free eye exams and glasses to the needy without access to medical care. Whenever I have free time, I write poetry, paint, read avidly, enjoy original Star Trek reruns and chase storms.
