About Me

Hello, My name is Paige. I am an Ojibway and Cree woman. I am from Grassy Narrows First Nation.

I am an emerging conservator in the field of cultural heritage and preservation. I am interested in working with archaeological and ethnographic material. I am Anishinaabe and ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ (Cree) registered with Grassy Narrows First Nation, ON and raised off-reserve in Timmins, ON, Canada. I have a passion for the preservation and conservation of artifacts from my own cultural heritage as well archaeological material from pre- and proto-contact North America.

I have created this portfolio for future employer interest as well as for my own personal record of exciting and interesting projects I have done. It has been quite the journey to arrive where I am now and this website has a very clear path of that journey. I invite students interested in conservation to use this website as a guide to their own journey to the field of conservation and preservation.

The above image is of me working on consolidating wall mosaics fragments found near the Temple of Isis on the archaeological site of Stobi in the Republic of Macedonia. More information can be found in Internship Experience.
