Hello,

I am a college student currently majoring in Psychology and for my Psych class we need to interview a person in the field I wish to go into. I have been wanting to switch my major to Anthropology because I am very interested in studying different cultures from around the world, therefore I was hoping I could interview someone in that field of Cultural Anthropology.

Thanks
Corinne Hanna
