The Anthropology Department at the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences is set to elevate its writing curriculum in the 2024-25 academic year. In collaboration with the Franklin College Writing Intensive Program (WIP), the department has crafted a comprehensive writing plan designed to integrate writing deeply into the curriculum, support student writing development, and enhance overall learning.

I am a 1st year PhD student in the Integrative Conservation (ICON) and Anthropology program. My research interests are in Environmental Justice and Wildlife Ecology. I intend to study how human communities' continual growth and expansion impact the surrounding wildlife population and ecosystems. I am inspired to integrate social science into my research. I am interested in researching how different factors, such as environmental injustices, impact ecological processes.

I am an environmental anthropologist interested in how people’s ways of knowing impact conservation decision-making. In my master’s program at Oregon State, I was part of an interdisciplinary research team investigating the social-ecological impacts of dam removal on the Klamath River– the largest dam removal in US history. My master’s thesis focused on conservationists’ conceptualizations of the Basin post-dam removal and their priorities in regard to natural resource management objectives moving forward.

I am a doctoral student specializing in anthropological archaeology, focusing on the socio-cultural interactions and complexities of ancient populations in eastern North America. 

Since 2019, I have worked in diverse archaeological contexts in the province of Québec, ranging from multi-component prehistoric sites to major institutional historical buildings and cemetery contexts. I am also on the board of the Québec Association of Archaeologists.
