Anthropologist

Basically, I study human behaviour and what it means, socially and culturally. I spend time with different individuals and groups of people, listen to their life stories and record my observations. Anthropology isn’t only about collecting data, it’s about recognizing the social value and uniqueness in each of us – how we’re different, what unites us, and how to make a difference.

Author

In addition to my academic research publications and presentations, I also enjoy creative writing and am currently working on a memoir – and associated blogs – about my foray into digital dating. I hope you’ll laugh with/at me and find comfort in my honest exploration of the search many of us engage in throughout our lives, that search for special, meaningful people and experiences.

Activist

Influenced by the social justice work of various family members from a young age, activism has long been a central part of my life. Whether it’s marching to protest murdered and missing Indigenous peoples or writing against misogyny, I try to use my knowledge and determined spirit to foster political change and awareness about issues that impact the people I work with and care about.
