One of my recent projects involved the excavation of a 17th-century shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea. As the lead archaeologist, I successfully coordinated a team of divers and managed the excavation process while ensuring the preservation of artifacts. This project taught me the value of teamwork, attention to detail, and effective communication – all of which are essential qualities for an underwater archaeologist. Moreover, my experience working with various stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and academic institutions, has enabled me to develop strong interpersonal and diplomacy skills.

I am also drawn to Lake Ontario Maritime Refuge’s commitment to community outreach and education. As an advocate for public engagement and awareness, I have conducted numerous educational programs and workshops to promote the importance of cultural heritage preservation. I am eager to continue this work at Lake Ontario Maritime Refuge and engage with the local community to raise awareness and appreciation for the region’s maritime history. In conclusion, I am excited about the opportunity to join Lake Ontario Maritime Refuge and contribute my skills and passion to the preservation and research of the region’s maritime heritage.
