“I have always felt inquisitive about the world around me. My earliest memories of my interest in heritage comprise visits to Sydney as a child, gazing out the car window while we drove across the Sydney Harbour Bridge past the iconic Sirius Building. Heritage conservation enables me to combine my love of history, design and the natural environment. I feel privileged to be able to contribute to the protection and celebration of our cultural heritage. At Artefact I’ve been lucky enough to work on the big old bridge that started it all!”
