​

My doctoral research explored the relationship between collective memory, Holocaust remembrance, and the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site in Germany. Understanding this relationship is important as we see a revival in fascist populism worldwide. I specifically focused on how Millennials engage with the memorial site, and I argue that they transfer a new form of (post)memory, namely the Zone of Transitional Memory.

I have more than ten years of experience in several tourism sectors, including accommodation, food and beverage, events, festivals and live theatre. I have been the production manager for international performing arts productions at the largest theatre festival in Europe and obtained hotel industry experience in the Middle East.  My teaching experiences include instructing at Capilano University in Vancouver, Camosun College in Victoria as well as at Royal Roads University in Victoria where I am the grateful recipient of the Kelly Outstanding Teaching Award - category new teacher.
