Exec Team Biographies

President- Alison Deplonty

Alison is going into her 4th year here at Western.  She has been involved with the club since her first year, serving as a year rep in 1st and 2nd year, and was VP Administration during her third.  Her specific interest is in Latin America, particularly Peru, but enjoys studying society and culture of other areas as well which helps to guide her History degree.  She hopes to attend Grad School for an Archaeology MA next fall working on the coupling of Archaeology and Public History (which she would also like to get an MA in).  She is very excited to continue her involvement with the Anthro Society and is looking forward to another wonderful year.  Alison hopes to see you out at the events and if you need anything do not hesitate to contact her at adeplont@uwo.ca or the whole exec at anthexec@uwo.ca.


VP Events- Patrick Flaherty 

Patrick is currently doing a major in Bioarchaeology and a minor is English. He has yet to decide whether he will continue into Grad school for Bioarchaeology, or go to teacher's college. Ideally,  he would like to become an author. 
 Patrick is also the biggest Star Wars nerd, and can finish a book in 2 days. He's on his game... just so you know. Should you wish to discuss Anthropology or Star Wars with Patrick, he can be contacted via pflahert@uwo.ca.







VP Finance- Pam-Marie Guzzo


Pam-Marie is in her third year of Honours Specialization in Anthropology. For the past two years, she has had the privilege of working in the Great Lakes Archaeology Lab under Dr. Chris Ellis and is in a unique position to answer most questions related to the work-study program.
Along with all things Anthropology, she also has a decided interest in Biology and is always looking for ways to combine both, as much as her schedule permits. She is currently considering continuing on to do her Masters despite a complete lack of direction. Feel free to email her at pguzzo@uwo.ca if you have any questions for her!

VP Academics- Tessa Plint 

Tessa is in her third year, studying for an Honours Specialization in Anthropology and a minor in Geography. She is specifically interested in bioanthropology and zooarchaeology (she says, "Basically, if it's dead and has a skeleton, it's cool."). Her long-term plans are undecided as of yet, although she would like to pursue anthropology and go on to do Grad studies. She loves working outside, doing archaeological fieldwork and playing in the dirt. She also loves to rock-climb, draw, travel, and meet new people. She admits to being a major nerd...
