She is currently a PhD candidate in the Art History graduate program at Queen’s University, conducting research into the pre-contact Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee stone tool collections housed at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Her interests include storytelling through the presentation and engagement with Indigenous art and artifacts to facilitate knowledge transfer. She is looking forward to engaging with Indigenous peoples of the Katarokwi region and their artworks to convey the truths and honour reconciliation in this upcoming exhibition.
