She started work at the Luthuli Museum in 2009 as an intern for the Commonwealth Association of Museums. She was subsequently offered a position to design and implement the Luthuli Museum digitisation and collections management project for purposes of preservation and access. Her work builds upon interests and skills developed during her undergraduate degree in History at the University of Durham, (UK), and Master’s degree in African Studies with Public Culture from the University of Cape Town (South Africa), and courses in Museum Studies at the University of Toronto (Canada). As well, she has experience working in the area of collections management at Canada’s Royal Ontario Museum and South Africa’s Iziko South African National Gallery. Her research interest is in the connection between culture, heritage and sustainable development. She writes in a personal capacity; views are not necessarily those of the Luthuli Museum institution.
