After completing my BA in History, I went on to do an MA in History as well as a PGCE in Further Education. In 2011 I began work in a private secondary school, teaching key stages 3 to 5, where I eventually became Head of History. Currently, I am a History Lecturer across three campuses in North Wales, where I continue to inspire learners with the rich and diverse narratives that history offers. I am a passionate medievalist at heart, however since I started teaching, I have also developed a deeper appreciation for more modern history. In addition to my academic role, I run a tour guide company that specialises in providing guided tours of historical sites. I began in 2010 as a guide giving tours at Conwy castle and around Conwy town and have since expanded to include a wide range of sites across North Wales. The tours cater to a vast range of people from tourists, to educational visits, and also locals wanting to know more about their area. The combination of my roles as lecturer and tour guide has led to me delivering lectures on various topics to local history groups or organisations across North Wales.
I am honoured to have recently been accepted as an Associate Fellow with the Royal Historical Society, in recognition of my contributions to the field of history. My commitment to the historical community is further demonstrated through my roles as Treasurer of a local history group and Secretary to the newly established Historical Association branch in North Wales. Additionally, I contribute to the broader educational landscape as the Adult Learning Coordinator for Conwy and Denbighshire counties, where I work to ensure that education is accessible and engaging for adult learners.
My passion lies in making history inclusive and accessible to all, striving to connect people with the past in meaningful and transformative ways.
