About me

I am a Preventive Conservator with over 15 years experience in collections care and the heritage sector. I am an associate member of the Institute for Conservation (ICON), working towards accreditation. My experience and knowledge covers many different types of materials, objects, collections and interiors ranging from pre-history to the present day.

My particular areas of interest are emergency planning, collections risk assessing, collections moves and care of stored collections.

I undertook an MA in Preventive Conservation with Northumbria University, graduating in 2012.  I was awarded an ICON Tru Vue CPD grant to complete the Chemistry for Conservators course in 2016.   From 2015 - 2018 I served on the of the ICON Care of Collections Group Committee.
