Biography
I am an MA student in the Department of Communication, Media and Film at the University of Calgary, supervised by Dr. Jessalynn Keller. In this program, I have held Graduate Assistant positions in both teaching and non-teaching roles, as well as co-chaired the 2025 Communication, Media, and Film Graduate Student Conference. I am eternally grateful for my upcoming thesis on the Alberta Film and Television Tax Credit to be supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council through a Canada Graduate Research Scholarship. Additionally, I am grateful to have been awarded the Lynda R. Hodges-Zwerman Memorial Scholarship for communication students on recommendation by the CMF department.
Previously, I completed my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Professor Barbara Dancygier (Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada). An adapted version of my undergraduate thesis, "'With his memory of the future in the past': Narrative Construction of Blended Temporal Viewpoint in Frank Herbert’s Dune and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune", was selected to be presented at the Cognitive Futures in The Arts and Humanities 10th Annual Conference in Catania, Italy in June of 2024.
