I have worked for Barnsley Museums for 7yrs, working over all of our magnificent sites, my background is based in Archaeology, Horticulture and visitor services, these experiences have furnished me with a greater understanding of how to protect and promote our heritage, whilst also h engaging and inspiring visitors .
To come away from a site and want to return and to help safeguard these treasures is a powerful tool.
I have been passionate about history since the day my father took me to the Jorvik centre on a trip to the UK in 1984…I was mesmerised, emersed and lost in its otherworldliness, that feeling is what I want others to feel every time they visit one of our sites.
As a new Trustee I will endeavour to work alongside the wonderful BMHT to promote, inspire, support and fundraise to ensure our unique museum sites are enjoyed for many more generations.
