My research focus. Community-engaged research focused around building capacity for ethical engagement in extractive spaces – from mining to museums. Disciplinary training in near-surface geophysics and archaeology.
Why I enjoy mentoring. I enjoy seeing folks grow into who they are as they find their path in life. Mentoring is a great way to be part of that process – through building relationships and getting to know people for the whole person they are, providing support and facilitating paths to folks’ goals, and co-learning with mentees and other mentors in unique ways!
My professional values. Above all, I value loving-kindness and compassion. Work often plays a central role in our lives, but it is only part of what makes us who we are – we are all complex and whole people! Recognizing that other life happenings are going on outside of work, embracing our shared humanity, and holding space for grace and compassion in the workplace are at the forefront of how I operate as a professional.
