I’m a prairie kid who loves research. I have a Master’s in economics with a focus on public programs, labour and education. Long before that, I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor.
Besides my resume, you’ll find this page full of sewing projects, the odd published poem, and stories about Canadian science.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
& here is what i might well have said:
go on. Take the better of me.
i will wrap my heart in sequined ribbon
the age of the glitterati stars is here, fully swung
and wrap my arms around Hope
& here is where i would like to be:
Please, i ask, please hold me back
please be my one for now
after all, there is still the after all of this
lover deny and disguise your threadbare heart
