Post-secondary Education

With the exception of one year of college, I completed all my post-secondary education as a mature student, winning awards and scholarships in each case.

Certificate in Journalism, Langara College
Where I got my first and best grounding in clear, concise writing, and the importance of it

Bachelor of Arts, History (Hons), University of Victoria
Honours thesis: “A Democratic Development of the Highest Significance”?: Considering the Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Urban Parks

I loved doing this degree and had many excellent professors. Some of my favourite courses:

• Environmental History of the United States
• Environmental History of British Columbia
• Cities and Sanctuaries of the Ancient World
• History of Science
• Pompeii and Herculaneum

Master of Arts, Urban Studies, Simon Fraser University
This was another a wonderful educational experience – I relished the opportunities to learn about research methods, and to do original, urban-focused research.
