As a qualified Archaeologist, I have taken tertiary-level units of study that specialise in the evolution of primates and hominids, as well as anatomy and forensics. Further, I have taken specialised courses which cover paleoanthropology, the Pleistocene epoch, and the Holocene epoch. I have degrees, post-graduate, and professional qualifications in the following areas of expertise, which includes the evolution of our species: - Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology & History - A1 First-Class Honours in Archaeology - Member of AAA (Australian Archaeological Association) - Member of ASHA (Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology) - PhD Candidate in Archaeology (Full Scholarship) - Academic Medal in Undergraduate Coursework - Winner of the Robert Mays Memorial Prize for North Queensland History - Member of the Golden Key International Honour Society - I have co-authored published articles in professional archaeological journals - I have delivered speeches at the Australiasian Mining History Association - Winner of the Best Poster Presentation at AAA - I have started my TESOL (150-Hours) Professional Certificate through Arizona State University, and I expect to complete this within the next month I am also a homeschool father of multiple children. We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself. Further, I am a native English speaker.
