My Professional Background
As Curator of Decorative Art, I was responsible for Sheffield Museum’s collections of glass, ceramic, arms and armour, Chinese ivories and most significantly, the Designated Collection of Metalwork. This collection contains over 16,000 items, including one of the most comprehensive collections of cutlery in the world.
In addition I was responsible for the World Cultures collections from 2012, containing over 2000 objects from Africa, America, Asia and Oceania.
The role involved the acquisition, documentation, research, display, storage and interpretation of these collections. I am experienced in giving presentations, talks, tours and training on collections to a wide variety of visitors, museum colleagues and specialists groups. I have worked on a number of large scale museum gallery development projects and regularly delivered new displays and exhibitions, often working with national and international partners.
As an English teacher I have helped hundreds of students over the last three years to improve their English communication and presentation skills. These have included a ceramics conservator, several tour guides and an Arts and Cultural Leadership MA student, all working in the heritage industry across the globe.
