About Me

I’ve been a member of the Phanza committee since 2005. I work for the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography project at the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, where I’m currently editing a series of new biographies to be published on the website. I’ve completed an MA on the lives of New Zealand farm women and a Master of NZ Studies dissertation, which looked at the role of the School Dental Service in New Zealand. I also do commissioned oral history interviews.

In 2010 I was co-editor of Phanzine.
