About

Still asking what old buildings are about. Turns out, they're really about people. I'm an architect and heritage researcher interested in how heritage shapes relationships between people, place and memory. As a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Stirling, my research explores how heritage can become a space for dialogue, care and community, with a particular focus on diasporic heritage practices and contested histories in the Caribbean. Alongside my academic work, I collaborate on international heritage conservation and policy projects, connecting research with practice.
