A Lifelong Love of the Past

I’ve always been enchanted by the magnetic pull of the past—the untold stories, ancient mysteries, and relics that whisper across time. From the time I was young, museums were my playground and my classroom. Whether it was exploring the hidden corners of small community museums or the soaring galleries of major institutions, I found myself drawn to the quiet magic of artifacts and the powerful narratives they hold.

As a teenager in Toronto, I spent countless hours at the Royal Ontario Museum, volunteering as an interpreter and later as a docent. That early hands-on experience solidified my dream of becoming an archaeologist—and after years of dedicated study, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Archaeology, followed by four intensive years of specialization in Egyptology.

Academic Foundations & Lifelong Curiosity

My fascination with history has never stood still. In my 30s, I delved deeply into the social and political landscapes of the 18th and 19th centuries. In my 50s, I earned a degree in Museum Studies, weaving together my decades of practical experience with formal museum training.

I’ve always believed that history is more than a subject—it’s a living, evolving story, and I’ve brought that philosophy into everything I do, from academic research to creative expression.

From the Field to the Screen

My love of storytelling extends beyond the museum floor. Over the years, I’ve written historical theatre, led public lectures, and contributed to numerous documentary series, including:

  • Cursed Histories – Seasons 1 & 2
  • Mysteries of the Ancient Dead
  • Phantom Signals
  • Secret Societies: In the Shadows
  • Deals from the Dark Side
  • Ancient Egypt
  • Pharaohs: Rise and Fall

Each series gave me the chance to blend historical expertise with compelling storytelling, helping to bring the past to vivid life for global audiences.

I’m currently developing new projects, including the upcoming docuseries “Spectral Threads”—a unique half-hour show exploring the lives behind historical garments, woven with threads of the paranormal.

Museum Collaboration & Creative Consulting

In 2006, I stepped away from fieldwork and launched a business dedicated to supporting museums as a creative consultant, presenter, and exhibit collaborator. My focus is on helping community museums and smaller institutions bring their exhibits to life—on any budget.

I’ve been honored to receive recognition for my distinctive exhibit designs, immersive installations, and emotionally engaging narratives. I approach every project with the same goal:

To awaken curiosity, stir imagination, and create connections between the past and the present.

Whether you’re building a permanent installation, refreshing a gallery, or looking to host a unique travelling exhibit, I’m here to help you make history unforgettable.
