Career Update

I’m pleased to share that after several rewarding years working on contract at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), I have accepted a permanent position in the Conservation Department.

My time at the ROM has allowed me to engage with the preservation of some truly remarkable artifacts, working alongside colleagues who share a passion for protecting our cultural heritage. I’m grateful for the experiences I’ve had and the trust the museum has placed in me.

I look forward to continuing this important work in a permanent capacity and embracing the new challenges and opportunities ahead.

While I will be continuing my private conservation practice, it will be at a much reduced workload.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.
