Mariah comes to us from our neighbouring province, New Brunswick! (Miramichi, specifically) Her education includes a Bachelor of Arts (2014) from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University where she majored in Art History with a minor in Film Studies.

“I came to Dalhousie because I love the cultural community here in Halifax, and couldn’t spare the thought about leaving the Maritimes after my undergrad,” says Mariah. “I also want to pursue a professional career in the city, and thought that receiving a MLIS from Dalhousie, presents a greater chance of that happening.”

Over the summer, Mariah has been hard at work in the Dalhousie University Archives. She has been primarily working within two collections in the Archives’ holdings – describing the tape collection of the Centre for Art Tapes and processing the textual records of the Women in Media Foundation.

“My dream is to gain employment within an archive or special collections/library, wherever that will be!” says Mariah.
