Current Committee Role: 

Collections Coordinator Assistant

About Me: 

I have just started a new position as Curator of Ores at the Natural History Museum in London. Exciting times lie ahead as I familiarise myself with this new collection and the potential it holds for research and engagement. Prior to this, I worked across all geoscience collections at the museum, in the role of Curatorial Assistant.

I have been a member of GCG since 2007, when I started my first paid museum role managing the mineral collection at the University of Edinburgh’s Cockburn Museum. Since then, I have worked in local, regional, university and national museums across the UK and have managed a number of geological collections at risk. I wanted to join the GCG committee to share some of my knowledge and experience and give something back to the community of specialists that has helped me so much over the years. I also look forward to continuing to benefit, in a more active way, from the vast amount of expertise within the group!
