Biography

I have extensive experience working as an objects conservator specializing in ceramics and glass in private practice at Nzilani Glass Conservation, Preservation Arts, and Carolina Conservation. I have completed internships at the Glenstone Museum, the Michael C. Carlos Museum, and the Birmingham Museum of Art. I also have earned the Professional Member credential through the American Institute of Conservation (AIC). I am a ceramic artist and specialize in making hand-thrown pottery. I have an MA in Conservation Studies from West Dean College of Arts and Conservation where I studied the Conservation of Ceramics and Related Materials. I have been awarded the Trustees' Prize for Conservation in 2019 and the BADA Geoffrey Moss Prize in 2018.
