| Introduction | A short history of recent times: I graduated from Western in 2004 with an honors BA in history. I gave starting a career in banking while simultaneously mastering Toronto nightlife a try. Putting it lightly, one of those things was awesome and the other nearly ate my soul from the inside. After exorcising the bank demon, I spent two and a half years working as the Events Coordinator at an ESL school in Toronto, which was a really fun learning experience. Even so, I was thrilled to leave it behind to head back to school in 2008 for my MA in Public History. Fabulous year in every way, 'nuff said. Freshly graduated in 2009, I made a most unexpected entry into the public service in Ottawa working at Library and Archives Canada, where I have been for (gulp) nearly three years. While I respect O-town for what it is, I detest the crippling cold and the absence of excitement, and dream of the day I finally claw my way back to Toronto or on to New York. In the meantime however, I am lucky enough to have a job that combines history and PR/Comms, where I am learning more each day and having a hand in shaping how we remember, present, and access our past. |
