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.

My cousin Ethan came over (he's 13) and we made his first video game ever! I'm real rusty with Scratch but I think it turned out just fine. Press space to start, and use your cursor to move the baseball bat. Don't let the ball hit the bottom or game over!
