BIOGRAPHY
Stephanie was born and raised in Ontario and received a Bachelors of Art with Honours in Archaeology from Trent University in Peterborough, ON. She came to UPEI for the MAIS program and joined in learning about island life and the lure of islands before starting to gather research for her thesis. Stephanie hopes to finish her Thesis by 2023 on the idea and placement of Island Archaeology.
Stephanie has always enjoyed history and found a passion for archaeology in her late years of high school. She began her interest in archaeology through Egyptian culture, and throughout her undergraduate life has changed focus on different cultures. She came to UPEI with a focus on Polynesian archaeology and the trade routes they made through the trade of material goods, but the only stable focus that has remained throughout her Masters is her love of archaeology and how islands are treated in archaeology.
