Research
I currently hold a BA (honour history), a BEd from the University of New Brunswick, and an MA in History from Wilfrid Laurier University. I have completed those three degrees using a combination of online and traditional sources. I am familiar with the Library and Archives of Canada. I also have access to a network of professional scholars who can provide the right start for your research project. One of our main clients is the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies. This may seem like a decidedly specific realm of research but with over 60 associates working in fields from the emergence of the teenage concept in western society to child soldering and the more traditional studies of culture, society, and the all forms of the military it is a perfect resource for any research project.
I have access to a network of professional scholars that extends beyond the LCMSDS and would be happy to help you with your needs. If you’re looking for photographs of a certain time period, personal war records of your descendants or documents on a wide range of research questions we can help you.

About
Your Story to Tell
The Symplicity Group was founded on this basic principle.
In an age where everyone has a camera, my job, as a photographer, is to capture your family, your event or your business in an authentic way. I’m often asked how I’m able to come up with unique images for each family. The reality is, every family is different and the moments and activities they share create the moments I capture. Whether it’s a portrait session, a boudoir shoot, a personality portrait, a wedding, an event, or a product, you have a story to tell. Together we will capture the moments that tell your story.
Your business story is at the forefront of our web and print designs. From print advertising to publication design and all of your marketing materials we have a team of capable designers that will exceed your desires. We have vast experience in print, web and marketing design. The future of web design will centre on a simple and effective design with a content management system that allows for your staff to easily manage and update content. In effect, if you can send an email with an attachment you will have the power to update and control the direction of your own site.
