Carina earned a double major in Anthropology and Classics at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. Her studies included a focus in Bioarchaeology. In 2023, she participated in the University of New Brunswick’s Bioarchaeology Field School at the Fortress of Louisbourg, working on the Rochefort Point burial ground—a site dating to the mid-18th century and threatened by coastal erosion. There, she gained hands-on experience in mapping, scale drawing, excavation, photography, and lab processing of human osteological remains and associated artifacts, contributing to the rescue excavation efforts at this nationally significant site. Carina’s international training includes a Roman archaeology field school at Carnuntum, Austria, with the University of Birmingham where she completed a year abroad. During this time, she participated in volunteer excavations at a 19th-century cottage near Wolverhampton, England.

 

Her Cultural Resource Management career began as a summer student in 2016 at the Washka site, a small Middle Woodland findspot in Ottawa. She has since conducted Stage 1 to 4 archaeological assessments across Ontario on both provincial and federal lands, including projects with the National Capital Commission and Parks Canada. Carina has contributed to complex mitigation and burial site investigations, including excavation at Ottawa’s historic Barrack Hill Cemetery, the city’s first Euro-Canadian burial ground. She is valued for her meticulous documentation, adaptability in the field, and ability to lead complex, multi-stage archaeological programs across varied cultural and environmental settings.
