About
I am very enthusiastic and enjoy working with the public. When I have an interest in something I like to know as much as possible about it. My interests are history, music and traveling. I have skills in archaeology, working with communities, tour guiding, producing tours and events, youth work.
My previous employment was working with charities and I have experience with funding and networking across Scotland. I have been excavating for over 8 years now including sites on Islay. I produced Kathryn Josephs first highland and island tour aswell as the first punk bands to come to Islay and many more.
I like to gain new skills and try new challenges.
