Emily Mobley

I am a postgraduate historian with practical experience in archives, records management and cataloguing, supported by strong administrative and customer service experience. Highly organised and meticulous, I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, delivering accurate work to tight deadlines while building positive relationships with colleagues. I am passionate about preserving the UK's documentary heritage and supporting the effective management and accessibility of archival records.
