About
I am a story hunter. I join Lottery Heritage projects to explore jungles of online documents and visit wow archives and mysterious museum stores to find forgotten stories or objects. I then guide volunteers towards activity and interpretation plans and scripts to deliver either displays, guided tours or website content.
I have worked for over 30 years in local authority museums in the south-east and the odd private museum, starting in museum education then mostly in exhibitions. I evolved into a project manager and producer (especially for the National Trust) with a bit of community oral history. I enjoy listening to all the wonderful stories from archivists, curators and volunteers which keeps my curiosity alive during these rollercoaster times of being a freelancer and juggling family life.
