Angie is our resident Australian. She studies Aboriginal and Convict archaeology in Sydney. She came to Statia to further her interests in Public Archaeology. Angie's role as an intern is to promote awareness and understanding of archaeology in the local school systems. Angie has become an Island celebrity with the local children.
Angie's other projects include updating this blog and writing a newsletter about the archaeology on Statia. She is currently organising a fair to promote local participation with the many volunteer organisations on the Island, including: the Historical Foundation, St Eustatius National Park (Stenapa), Statia Pride and of course, SECAR.
Angie's known for her good humour and great cooking skills. We have all appreciated her enthusiasm for life on the Island. The Island, however, has not shown her the same love...
With all the skills she brought with her from Australia, she didn't forget the most important Aussie skill of all: beer drinking. It's not Foster's but she makes do.
Admittedly, the Island is a bit muntered and she's fairly knackered, but you will always hear her ask: "How 'bout a beer, Mate?". YIH!
