about me

About


I am a historian with extensive experience in numerous aspects of the museums and cultural heritage sector.

I began my career providing research assistance to the Public Record Office of Victoria for exhibitions at the Old Treasury Building Museum (OTB).

Since then, I have continued to work as a research and curatorial assistant for exhibitions at the OTB, including the Anzac Centenary funded exhibition and Oral history project 'Soldier On: WWI Soldier Settlement Stories'.

Recent projects include research and curatorial work for an exhibition at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka titled '19th Century Bling- Goldfields Jewellery', and my role as exhibition manager for The Dressmaker exhibition at Ripponlea.

Currently I work as an independent contractor for several museums, whilst working for the National Trust as Operations and Public Programs coordinator for Como House & Garden and Labassa.

My current projects include an interactive augmented reality app for an upcoming inner-city exhibition, and a digital history of 7000 of Victoria’s female prison records.
