So I originally discovered anthropology quite young, quite fresh in college.

I started my college journey actually at a community college, and I took my first introduction to anthropology class around the age of 17, and I fell in love very quickly with the way that anthropology viewed the world.

And as a discipline, it felt very aligned with some of the things that I felt were missing, especially from biology and the more human elements of science.

And of course, with discovering it that young, there were lots of bumps along the way and figuring out exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew it was somewhere in anthropology.

So ultimately ended up transferring to University of South Florida.

So are there any strategies that you found helpful in securing job interviews, if you have any advice for listeners who may be wanting to go into industry or other non-academic career paths.
