Organizational & Design Anthropology

Educated in cultural and physical anthropology, I apply a keen eye and disciplined and actionable research to all of my engagements. My time in the field observing our primate ancestors equipped me with unique skills for people watching and understanding how networks and relationships work together to help communities thrive. I’ve also had the great honour of participating in archaeological field work on the plains of Treaty 7 Territory.
