I am an Associate Professor in the Anthropology Program at Athabasca University as well as a professional archaeologist. My research interests focus primarily on urban development and household activity patterns of the past and present. I have researched ancient and not-so-ancient places in North America, Central America, and Northern Europe. Currently, I co-direct the community-engaged Stann Creek Regional Archaeology Project (SCRAP) in Belize and the community-based Old Bezanson Archaeology Project (OBAP) in Alberta. My teaching at AU takes place entirely online; as a result, I am particularly interested in technology-enabled learning in archaeological pedagogy, education, and outreach. I enjoy reading mystery novels and watching thrillers, hiking and running, and volunteering for various local organizations and initiatives during my free time.
