• Committed to sustainability: Learning from the past to reflect on the present and consider our future is key to my approach to heritage
• Competent communicator: Getting your message across is one thing but connecting with the public is quite another. I believe in the power of words
• Qualified: Post Dip in Interpretation Management & Practice from University of Highlands & Islands (2021)
• Experienced trainer: Extensive experience in delivering asters, workshops and certification courses promoting interpretive methods and techniques.
• Enthusiastic and creative: I love what I do and to share it with others. I am able to seize the sense of a place and propose novel solutions for visitor experiences
• A European perspective: My British and French culture plus decades working throughout Europe, from Norway to Greece, gives me a wide range of examples and experiences to draw on.
