My extensive experience in the field ensures that you will receive up-to-date and effective preservation strategies.

Training

INFORMATION SESSIONS
Theory based training sessions build knowledge in preventive conservation. These sessions can focus on a specific need or improve the understanding of a subject.
I offer interesting and educational sessions that help participants learn about the chosen subject.
My theory sessions can be delivered onsite or online.
Talks

Speaking Engagements
Short talks and information sessions can be delivered to small to large groups. Talks can be informal sessions to raise awareness on a topic. Or more formal presentations at conferences and symposiums.
I strive to give captivating presentations that connect with the audience and effectively deliver the message.
