I am a Kallunâk (settler) writer and anthropologist living in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. My work examines settler colonialism on Indigenous lands.  

Since 2001, I have worked on Indigenous-led research with communities in Labrador. I have written several books, including A Long Journey: Residential Schools in Labrador and Newfoundland.

I am currently an assistant professor in the School of Arctic and Subarctic Studies at the Labrador Campus of Memorial University. I am also a kayaker, a hiker, and a mother.
