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.

students on the beamline poster Students on the Beamline, or SotB, is a program at the Canadian Light Source that brings high school students to the synchrotron to perform their own original research.

This poster was designed for the 2015 Canadian Light Source Open House. To see all of the posters from the event (if you can't make it to the facility), check out their website.
