​​I am a first year anthropology major here at Michigan Tech. I chose to come to Tech because of the strong presence of culture and history in the surrounding communities. I chose to become a part of the Keweenaw Time Traveler team in order to learn more about the people who lived here and the families that may still live here and how the mining industry has impacted them. I am helping to transcribe the Calumet and Hecla employee records for the Mapping Miners at Home and Work project at the moment and am excited to see where this takes me.
