BIO
My career has been defined by an interest in what we wear and the stories we tell through clothing - this has manifested in career choices that have included time as a fashion buyer and director of three clothing stores, an historian with a specialist interest in clothing, a cuarator in museums and now a PhD candidate who is investigating the collected garments in Australian collecting institutions.
I have demonstrated experience in exhibition development, managing museum collections and high-level academic research.
I have significant experience working with social history collections and a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for research, organisation, documentation, handling and storage in the development of new exhibitions.
