- About Me:
- I am an historian and curator of all things Australian social history. I specialise in the use of new media for interpretation and am excited to be pursuing this as a career. In 2008 I completed my MA at The University of Melbourne on how Web 2.0 is reshaping Australian public history. I worked for a consultancy company from 2005 to 2009, but moved to Museum Victoria in late 2009. I am currently an Assistant Curator working on the Royal Exhibition Building Western Forecourt Redevelopment project. As part of my role I maintain a project blog and am working towards developing other social media initiatives.

Thanks for the reference for my paper. I ended up using you as a main source on technology and museums. My paper came out great (I think...) and I'm awaiting my final grades. Again, thanks! Your paper was so interesting.
