Australian based in Argyll and currently working as a seasonal tour guide at historic Inveraray Castle and a Walking Guide/General Volunteer for Kilmartin Museum. I’ve spent the last ten years in front-line university engagement at Macquarie University in Sydney.

My background is in Celtic Studies (Diploma of Arts, University of Sydney, Australia, graduated in 2021) where I undertook studies in Scottish Gaelic language and culture, manuscript traditions and early Medieval art.

I’ve begun working towards a Master of Heritage Conservation with the University of Sydney. I’m particularly drawn to historical figures, neglected histories and ecofeminist methodologies.

Alongside my heritage work, I’m an enthusiastic, creative person who loves getting stuck into artistic projects. I’m always keen to chat, share ideas, and collaborate with fellow heritage folk and creatives across Argyll and the Isles through CHARTS.
