WORK HISTORY
Archaeological Laboratory Technician 10/2013 Present
Employer: Atkins North America, Inc., Austin, TX
I am responsible for curating incoming archaeological collections and records from Atkins field investigations in
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana before they go to a permanent repository. Curating artifacts includes
using current best practices in handling, washing, labeling, cataloging, analyzing, photographing, enclosing in
archival housing to preserve the item in perpetuity for future researchers, and shipping artifacts collected on
private property back to landowners.

Records processing includes requesting trinomials, digitizing site forms, illustrating report figures, researching
missing data, writing site descriptions, writing artifact analysis section of reports, and organizing field forms in
archival quality materials as each states permanent repositorys policies and procedures indicate. There is a large
legacy backlog that I am helping to reduce which include both collections and records processing. I also provide
the Texas Historical Commission and other public document repositories with completed reports and abstracts
on finished projects in fulfillment of Antiquities permit requirements. On occasion I research archaeological
background information on incoming projects including transferring site locations onto company quads from the
states master USGS topo quad maps stored at the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory (TARL). I use the
following programs and tools: Google Earth Pro, Adobe Professional, MS Office including extensive use of Excel
and Access.

Crew Chief and Field Technician 02/2012-Present
Employer: Turpin and Sons, Inc.
My experience includes seismic and pipeline pedestrian survey, shovel testing, trench profiles, some excavation
and crew chief duties including preparing reports, curating records, and communicating orally and verbally
directly with the client and other subcontractors. I document evidence of past human activity with handheld
GPS units and TexSite, site forms submitted to Texas Historical Commission Site Atlas, the statewide archaeology
site database. I do background research, draft Texas Antiquities Permit applications, and recommend avoidance
paths for energy production and seismic survey crews intending to grub or otherwise disrupt the surface of the
land. I put this experience and others that might not seem relevant because I see the land and cultural resources
as the collections I manage and hope to encourage scholarship/research about. Also I intend to demonstrate that
I have been on the field-side (as opposed to only the lab/museum-side) and can empathize with the unique
situations that arise in that environment. I use the following programs and tools: Terrain Navigator, Garmin
GPS, GPSMap Edit, sendmap 20, Corel Paint Shop Pro x4, Microsoft Office, Goggle Earth, and Dropbox.

intern/volunteers for various projects. Using the new Collections Management Plan and the annual checklist of
deficiencies, I took the museum storage facility down from 80% deficient to 10% deficient in 6 months by
implementing better storage conditions and updating policies and procedures. I worked with museum storage
and exhibit related environmental monitors, created maintenance schedules, and completed a rehousing project
with the help of skilled volunteers. I learned and subsequently used the NPS Re:discovery database extensively
to manage 1.5 million artifacts, the bulk being stored at the TARL, but some representative collections still
remain in Del Rio.

I also had the opportunity to instruct students of all ages on the ancient lifeways of the area hunter gatherers
and on museum careers. I collaborated with the park archaeologist in developing an exhibit presenting primitive
technology in a fun, informative, and meaningful way. I co-wrote and co-presented with SCA archeology intern
