I am currently studying MA Conservation of Archaeological and Museum Objects at Durham University and will be completing my second year placement at Lancashire Conservation Studios. My main interests currently lie within decorative arts and social history collections, in particular ceramics and glass collections and ethnographic objects. As part of the Icon EPN committee I am keen to promote the work of emerging conservation professionals, encouraging accessibility, engagement and public outreach within conservation.

I am a first year MSc student at Cardiff University originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. I received my BA in Medieval Studies in 2023 from Swansea University. I’m particularly interested in ceramics and stained glass.

As a conservation student at Cardiff University, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of objects, including a Roman coin hoard, excavated stained glass collections, and most recently, a set of cracked 18th-century clay molds. This project was particularly insightful, involving the removal of aged adhesive from the objects, undertaking cleaning, readhering the molds, and researching ways to cast replicas for use by the curatorial team at Bristol Museum. Additionally, I completed a placement as a finds conservator on an archaeological dig in Cardiff, where I particularly enjoyed running activities with school groups and helping the public learn more about archaeological conservation, and have undertaken a Preventive Conservation Student Work Placement with the National Museum Cardiff.
