Biography

A long term resident of Aberystwyth, I completed my BA and MA in the history department before swapping to DIS to pursue the Msc(Econ) in Archive Administration. During and post study I have worked for a number of archive organisations, including the RCAHMW, The Waterways Trust, and Ceredigion Archives.

Outside of work I am very fond of good ale, bad films, and the slightly more cerebral pursuit of reading. I also enjoy visiting historic properties and sites, and, when forced into the great outdoors, walking.
