I am a freelance curator and historian based in Melbourne with a particular interest in migration history and the role photographs play in how we tell history. I am available for short, medium and long term work in Melbourne and regional Victoria and can travel further afield if necessary.

I hold an Honorary Research Fellow position at La Trobe University and am an Exhibition Reviews Editor for Australian Historical Studies.

A copy of my CV is available on request.
