I hail from Sydney, Nova Scotia.  I completed my Bachelor of Arts at Cape Breton University in 2007.  During my time at CBU I completed an independent study of how history is used, understood and communicated in the medium of videogames.  This study, entitled "History from the Word and Image to the Joystick", was presented in the form of a lecture at CBU's Student Undergraduate Research Forum.

Here at Dalhousie, I am studying Public History with Dr. Claire Campbell.  My research interests are Canadian Public History, early 20th century Canada and Canadian historiography.  I am the History Representative on the Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students Council and the Graduate History Society Representative to the Canadian Historical Association.
