Welcome
I am a cultural anthropologist working and researching in British Columbia, Canada. My topical interests are in the areas of linguistic anthropology and environmental 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). And, I work on consulting projects with First Nations communities related to land use planning, local and family history, and traditional knowledge.
