LGBTQ+ Advocacy and Consulting
As a Founder and Chair of the Science Museum Group's Gender & Sexuality Network, I am deeply committed to uncovering and celebrating queer and intersectional stories within museum and heritage spaces. My work centers on advocating for inclusivity, diversity, and representation in the narratives that shape how we engage with science, history, and culture.
An award-winning speaker, I am available for guest lectures, workshops, and consultations. My expertise lies in "queering" museum and heritage collections, including science-based collections, as well as in the development of thriving, impactful staff networks across a variety of institutions.
