If you’re going to be checking out this website, I figure you should probably know a little bit about me.  And I’m going to list it in point form because why not?

Me:

woman archaeologist and skull
Me (on the right) and my amazingly accurate wooden skull

 

  • I’m an osteoarchaeologist (used interchangeably with bioarchaeologist)! Meaning I work with human skeletal remains from archaeological sites to learn not only about that individual’s life in the past, but about life in the past as a whole.  Which I believe will help us better prepare for the future.
  • I’m from Steveston, B.C., which is just outside of Vancouver (For those Once Upon A Time fans out there, Steveston = Storybrooke)
  • I currently live in Ottawa, ON, while my husband completes his PhD in microbiology at the University of Ottawa (he studies RNA pathways of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria responsible for a wealth of problems)
  • Despite being a dog person, I have 3 crazy cats
  • I have loved sharks since I was little and know a lot about them, which leads me tobeing very interested in conservation efforts to protect sharks around the world!  I encourage everyone to look into how they can become involved in local or international shark conservation efforts!
  • I am totally in love with B-horror movies, which all started with a movie my cousin and I bought called “A Crack in the Floor”
  • I love mystery/horror novels.  Stephen King and Michael Critchton are my favourite authors, and recently I was asked by a Canadian mystery author to assist with his research into forensic anthropology for a novel he was writing (“The Same River Twice” by Stephen Legault, published October, 2015).  Yup, you’ll see my name in the acknowledgments
  • I’m also the co-owner/operator of the blog, “Reviving Rex” (which one day we will actually get up and running)
