About Me

I received my Masters of History at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2011 and went on to receive a Masters of Photographic Preservation and Collections Management at Ryerson University in 2015. In the same year, I won the Photographic Historical Society of Canada thesis prize for my paper, “British Official First World War Photographs, 1916-1918: Arranging and Contextualizing a Collection of Prints at the Art Gallery of Ontario.” I give lectures on war photography, and curated the exhibition, “14-18: The First World War Illustrated,” in Vernon, BC, from May 13-September 30, 2018.
