As Head of Audience Engagement, I manage MOLA’s hugely successful charity and grant-funded public impact offer. As well as developing our public facing projects, I am passionate about coastal and climate change. I lead our coastal ‘Citizen Science’ models, including CITiZAN and Coasts in Mind, and our Sustainability Strategy.
I have specialised in teaching archaeology, heritage, and traditional craft skills since leaving university, from teaching English language and culture in Japan, to working on the ground-breaking Riverside Project excavations in the World Heritage Site at Stonehenge.
Before joining MOLA in 2018, I worked for the National Trust as their Learning and Interpretation Officer on the Stonehenge Landscape estate, as the Education Officer and Exhibition Manager with Maritime Archaeology Trust at the National Oceanography Centre, and as Head of Business at IBTC Portsmouth (International Boatbuilding Training College) on behalf of Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust.
