I have always loved working with people; encouraging them to make their ideas and dreams happen and to tell their stories.  It is so important that our heritage is discovered, retained and passed down to future generations.  I have a breadth of experience in so many fields. I have trained people in applying for funding, running events and setting up committees.  I have sat on many funding panels and been on numerous committees. My favourite place though, is working with a group of people to plan an event, to take their group to the next level, to share stories and engage with others.  My real focus is on sharing heritage using a diverse media – telling our stories in the best way we can so that they are not forgotten.
