Episode 13: Interview 2 with Stevie Sheppard

For our second interview in our “Careers in Archaeology” series, we’re very excited to be joined by Stevie Sheppard, a Parks Canada Terrestrial Archaeologist.

In this episode, we discuss the rigorous application process for a coveted Parks archaeology job, her previous experiences in archaeology that landed her this position, as well as the differences between Terrestrial and Underwater archaeology (read: those awesome folks that discovered the Franklin expedition)! Listen and explore with us as Stevie shares her passion for the history of Canada and why Parks Canada has 450,000km² of Canadian memories for you to discover!

She shares some insightful wisdom and advice when it comes to “following your passions” or maybe... getting stuck loving them.
