2022 and 2023 marked significant milestones in my personal development, leadership and professional career. In terms of my career path, I participated in four field schools: Supervisor of archaeological surveys in San Vicente de Tagua-Tagua, Chile; excavation assistant for a month at a Viking site in Buttle, Gotland, Sweden; the Caleta Huelén 11 Cemetery at the mouth of the Loa River, Atacama Desert, Chile. and research assistant in Caldera, Atacama Desert, where I discovered a new archaeological site: a cave with bioarchaeological remains, stone walls and projectile points. I named it 'Ana Inika', which means "Purple Cave" due to the color of the projectile points.Currently, I am leading an archaeology workshop aimed at young Rapanui people from 12 to 16 years old, as part of the archaeology group I founded, known as 'Herekiteaka'. And like last year, I continue with my work as president of the Rapanui Student Federation, Haka Nonoga.
