About Me

An American citizen, Canadian immigrant, and a Quebec resident all neatly arranged into a young woman who is fierce in her desire to understand the relationships between the United States and Canada while considering the ideas of borders, migration, historical underpinnings, policies, and law.

My undergraduate education at McGill University has prepared me to view the world around me through a critical lens. I am particularly interested in the academic disciplines of history and law. My love for museums and libraries have illuminated my volunteer experiences as I have served my various communities through volunteer archival research, guiding tours, sitting on a municipal Museum Board, and assisting in cataloguing and curating of materials.

I have a unique aptitude for organizing events. I am a dedicated team player and I excel in collaborative settings.

I am now pursuing a Masters of Arts degree from McGill University with a specialization in Canadian History and am considering my next steps after graduate school.

I hope we can connect! Please feel free to send me a message and say hello!

***

Curieuse, compatissante et motivée.

Citoyenne américaine, immigrante canadienne et résidente du Québec. Mes études de premier cycle à l’Université McGill m’ont préparée à regarder le monde qui m’entoure d’un point de vue critique. Je m’intéresse particulièrement aux disciplines académiques de l’histoire et du droit. Mon amour pour les musées et les bibliothèques a illuminé mes expériences de bénévolat car j’ai servi mes différentes communautés par le biais de recherches d’archives volontaires, de visites guidées, de siéger à un conseil municipal des musées et d’aider au catalogage et à la conservation des documents.

J’espère que nous pourrons nous connecter! S’il vous plaît n’hésitez pas à m’envoyer un message et dire bonjour!
