Scott prefers not to talk about themselves too much. The important parts are that they finished a pair of concurrent degrees in Science and in History at U of Guelph in 2022, they own their own 3D printing and tabletop model business, and they are currently working on an MA focusing on sussing out a concept, the 'Status Quo Coalition,'* in the context of Canadian-American relations in the Cold War period.

Scott's overall goal in research and academia is to uncover the experiences and interactions of hidden and marginalized groups in their own words, investigate the processes of formation for new cultures and identities, and the cross-cultural exchanges that happen at the borderlands between cultural regions.

*The concept as-such is so named by Dr. Bret C. Devereaux of North Carolina State University, the writings of whom is where they first came across the concept.
