Looking For Volunteer Opportunities Near Philadelphia, PA
Michaella2992
Hi. My name is Michaella. All my life I have been fascinated by anything with history. As a child I would "dig" in my dad's 19th century unfinished basement in Philadelphia's historic Jeweler's Row, pretending I was a famous archaeologist. Now, all grown up, I want to learn and experience what archaeology has to offer. I am a hard worker and a fast learner. This is something I have passion for and am eager to immerse myself in. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am looking forward to hopefully going on an adventure into Pennsylvania's rich history!
