BIO
I am a forensic anthropologist and archaeologist who is an international PhD student in forensic science. In my spare time, I am executive director and chief forensic archaeologist and anthropologist for Kolibri Forensics (www.kolibriforensics.org) and a volunteer forensic anthropologist for Indigenous Missing Persons Support Services.
My previous career was in emergency and critical care medicine where I was originally an emergency medical services provider and later a respiratory therapist. I still maintain my respiratory therapy credentials including subspecialty certifications in adult critical care, neonatal and pediatric critical care, pulmonary function testing, and sleep disorders. I helped edit the most recent editions of the two most commonly used pocket reference guides in respiratory therapy (The Oakes' Pocket Guides series).
