The current is president of the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society is Denise Huynh.
I have been an SAS member for 19 years and was employed with the SAS in 2012 on the ArchaeoCaravan project.
I have a variety of experience with archaeology in the province. I received my MA from the University of Saskatchewan and worked as a consulting archaeologist for several years,
working on projects in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Yukon. I have worked at the University of Saskatchewan Department of Anthropology in a part-time permanent position since 2015 as the Office and Graduate Assistant for the Department. Part of my job is identifying artifacts for those who approach the Department and to further educate them on the archaeology of Saskatchewan. I assist in recruitment events, helping to promote the discipline to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Finally, I also work as an educator for the University of Saskatchewan. I have taught several classes through SSCL (Saskatoon Seniors Continued Learning) and have been a sessional instructor with the Department of Anthropology since 2008, teaching both Introduction to Cultural Anthropology and Introduction to Archaeology and Biological Anthropology. During my term as First Vice-President I successfully completed a course in Board Governance Essentials and I look forward to implementing what I learned during another term with the board.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, travelling, and sharing my interest in the archaeology of Saskatchewan with my family (including Tam, our two kids, and my mother – all of whom who actively take part in SAS events and experiences).
