I worked in the British commercial Archaeology sector (England and Scotland) for over ten years before my family and I moved to Australia eight years ago. In that time, I have amassed extensive experience of assessing heritage significance and heritage management; working successfully with a range of stakeholders including local community , clients, academics, and local and national government bodies. I have authored over 100 grey-literature publications relating to consultant heritage reports, including Cultural Heritage Management Plans and chapters within Environmental Effects Statements regarding impacts to heritage for commercial and private bodies.
