I am a cultural anthropologist working and researching in British Columbia, Canada. My topical interests are in the areas of ethnography, ethnohistory, and applied anthropology, particularly with First Nations communities. In 2007, I completed a PhD in the Department of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, NM, USA.
I live in North Vancouver, British Columbia, and teach anthropology at Douglas College. I am a research associate with the Fonakag Phonology and Cognition Lab at Simon Fraser University (John Alderete, director). I work as a consulting anthropologist on projects with First Nations communities related to land use planning, local and family history, and traditional knowledge. And, my book on hunting and history in northern British Columbia is forthcoming in 2012 from the University of Toronto Press.
