Journey Giesbrecht

I studied Forensic Anthropology student at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. I grew up on a sheep farm in Central Alberta. My dad is a chiropractor which is where my first love of bones began, however, I did not want to touch people for a living so I crossed that off my list of career options. When I was a little bit older I read a Nancy Drew book where she was an archaeologist and thought that looked fun too. And then, in grade 9 I started watching the TV show Bones and absolutely fell in love with Dr. Temperance Brennan and Forensic Anthropology. Not long after that I found SMU in Halifax and decided that I am going to move to Halifax and become a Forensic Anthropologist. I graduated in May 2021 and I'm not sure what the future holds but I'm staying hopeful.
