M.A., Anthropology, Centre for Sensory Studies, Concordia University
I am currently studying at Concordia University (QC), in the Centre for Sensory Studies, working in sensory anthropology, ethnomusicology, and acoustemology.
My research explores how ecological environment shapes the way cultures hear, know, and make meaning through sound and music, tracing the connections between landscape, cosmology, and musical practice. My project pairs fieldwork and thesis with immersive spatialized audio sensory-ethnography.
I hold a BA (Honours) in Music with a minor in Anthropology from the University of Guelph (ON), where my (2022) thesis focused on decolonizing the structural language of Western music theory.
I’ve worked in research, cultural event production, and audio engineering across documentary, festival, and multi-sensory museum exhibition contexts. Alongside my research work, my creative practice moves between folk, jazz, experimental songwriting, and field recording.
