Curate Your Career FIG Instructor and Assistant

My name is Andrew Boehm and I grew up on a farm in Iowa but have lived in Oregon since 2012. Currently I am the Deputy Director of Archaeological Science at the Archaeological Research Division within the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, University of Oregon. I have been at the museum in 2014 as a Research Assistant and in 2016 became a Research Associate after completing my PhD at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX. I have worked in nearly every western state and every corner of Oregon. My research focuses on investigating how animals and people behaved in the past, particularly animals!

Hello everyone! My name is Ava (she/her) and I’m thrilled to be your FIG Assistant this fall! I am a fourth-year double majoring in psychology and sociology and minoring in criminology, and my plan is to be a forensic social worker focusing on rehabilitation and restorative justice.

In my free time, I love to read, bake, hug my chunky dog, and just hang out with friends and family. A few fun facts about me: I’m originally from Minnesota but moved to Oregon my junior year of high school, my favorite movie is Pride & Prejudice (2005), I love sad books, I studied abroad in London, and I’ve been really into Palaye Royale lately. 

I am so excited to meet and work with you all in the fall! Always feel free to reach out about anything! :)
