Personal History | Mignon was born and raised on Earth in a small community in Southern Utah. She loved to explore the colorful canyons and ancient pueblo sites in the area. As an only child she would read a lot and fell in love with history and folk tales. She was especially interested in the people of ancient Central and South America. She took several trips with her parents to Machu Picchu, Abydos, and Teotihuacan. She was fascinated with the sites and read as much as she could. She learned to read Mayan, Incan and Ancient Egyptian. By the time she went to University she knew what she wanted to be: An archaeologist, anthropologist and historian. Not willing to settle on one focus, Mignon studied all three. She loved to learn and once she had her first degrees, she transferred schools, taught undergraduate courses, and continued her education, achieving PhDs in History, Archaeology, and Anthropology. She was offered several teaching positions and a job overseeing a dig, but her drive to learn more led her to join Starfleet. As she already had college degrees she was able to skip most of the preparatory science courses and focus on advanced studies. She fell in love with Vulcan history and culture and took a position working on Shi'Kahr upon graduation. After two years, she was transferred to a starship where she could feed her desire to explore. For the next two years, the ship traversed the outer edges of the galaxy where Mignon had the opportunity to help uncover several ancient ruins. Now she serves on the USS Pioneer and looks forward to more adventures. |
