Subject: Family History Research
I gained a further education teaching qualification following my masters degree and have taught extensively as a university lecturer in history and research.

I now specialise in social and political history having a key interest in workhouse records, and exploring how the concept of the family has changed throughout modern history. I am a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and associate member of the Regional History Centre, affiliated to the University of the West of England.

I have had various articles and books published and in 2019 I was delighted to be the recipient of a Bristol City Council Employment Skills and Learning Award in recognition of my study, works and teaching.
