Research Intern Resume Example
I am someone with a very deeply rooted passion and knowledge for history, for archaeology, and for cultural heritage preservation. I am a candidate who is goal driven, organized, dedicated and with enough energy to spread around to others around me. I am quick on my toes, easily adaptable to adversity, as well as results-focused with a strength in problem solving and cooperation. What I may lack in professional experience I more than make up for in field and laboratory experience as well as Masters-level education in program management and curatorial studies from world renowned universities.
