Current Committee Role:
Secretary
About Me:
I am a Principle Conservator at the Natural History Museum in London (UK) and the lead on Conservation Science and Documentation. My role includes coordinating the conservation of all Earth Science collections projects and work requests, and giving advice to curators on storage issues. I love project management, solving problems and (when I get the time) undertaking research to develop preservation techniques.
I hold a BSc in Geology, MSc in Palaeobiology, MSc in Museum Studies and MA in Principles of Conservation. I think that I first learned to love geology because I grew up in a rock-poor county, so seeing an outcrop always meant that I was going on holiday. Decades later I am still fascinated by earth science materials and believe strongly in the necessity of safeguarding collections. I am very proud to be a member of the GCG Committee and hope that I can make a worthwhile contribution to the valuable work of the group.
