What excites me is working with small groups of people with diverse interests, getting to know them and what makes them tick. Together with Stephen Gadd, I am one of the two organisers of the Viae Regiae public history project. I am also Viae Regiae project training lead. Within our new project, I'm looking forward to making new friends and learning new skills
