Who I am

I am no stranger to starting a new chapter in my life. This is my second career, and I bring with me a solid foundation from my first – working as a mechanical designer for an engineering firm. That experience helped me develop valuable skills in project management, cross-discipline collaboration, and working with diverse teams and agencies. But I reached a point where I wanted something more, something that fell more within my passion and values.

History has always been my biggest passion in life. Whether it was reading about it in books or exploring heritage sites, I have long dreamed of building a career around this interest. Now, I am turning that dream into reality by stepping into the information field. It is here that my passion for history, my drive to make a difference, and my practical experience can come together.

I am motivated and creative, and I thrive in flexible, hands-on environments. I am also empathetic and adaptable, and I value emotional intelligence, strong communication, and social harmony. I am also reliable, detail-oriented, and well-organized, with a genuine enthusiasm for using information to support learning, accessibility, and community engagement.

This iPortfolio will offer a comprehensive look at who I am, where I am going, and what I can bring to the table. Begin by exploring the Curriculum Vitae section to get some insight into my background. Next, the Ethics Statement, and My Values sections give some ideas of what drives me and how I envision my future in the information profession.

To better understand the skills and knowledge I have developed, please see My Skills, My Knowledge, and Core Competencies sections. Finally, if you simply would like to browse some of the projects I have completed, please visit the Certificates, History and Archaeology, and Information Studies sections.

Each page links to the next at the bottom of the page to continue your journey through my iPortfolio easily, however, the drop-down menu also provides quick access to jump to any section.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about me, and for giving me the opportunity to share where I wish to take my journey following my degree.
