I graduated with a B.A. Honors in Anthropology at the University of Manitoba in 2017, and subsequently took a 4 year break from academia to travel and work abroad, explore cultures, and learn some non-academic skills. 

My interest in conflict areas brought me to McMaster to study how forms of violence manifest and their impact on populations, economic wellbeing, and the overall interpretation within populations at the heart of its occurrence. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, playing D&D, cooking, desperately trying to remember names, or generally being out on a trail somewhere if I am not taking a nap.
