I began my post-secondary studies as a music student and went on to study history and German language and culture (including a year as an exchange student in Germany). I’ve worked as an assistant instructor at both the University of Saskatchewan and Indiana University, as an editorial assistant at the American Historical Review in Indiana, and as a supervisor at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Saskatoon.  I’ve been an amateur musician all my life, have performed with a variety of musical groups from bluegrass to opera, and sung in a number of auditioned choirs, including Greystone Singers, Saskatoon Chamber Singers, and Saskatoon Symphony Chorus.
