My love of archaeology took me to Wilfrid Laurier University where I earned a B.A. in Archaeology and Anthropology specializing in Ontario Indigenous archaeology in 2009, then an M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Western Ontario in 2017. My M.A. research focused on the analysis of features from a Younge Phase Western Basin village site near Arkona, Ontario. Specifically, I analyzed attributes of depth, volume, feature stratigraphy and artifact content to determine if patterns could be identified from the features at this site, and specifically if residential and non-residential areas can be distinguished from each other.
I came to TMHC in the fall of 2016 after completing a post-degree diploma in Museum Management and Curatorship from Fleming College, where I worked in the lab on artifacts from the Ward. I then started writing reports and also moved in the field when needed.
