About

I am an emerging book conservator based in Toronto, Canada.

I entered the world of conservation through my interest in bookbinding. I have been making books as long as I can remember but I took my first bookbinding course in 2015 at Morley College (London, UK). Since then, I have taken a range of bookbinding courses in Canada and the UK.

I studied object conservation at Fleming College (Canada) where I learned about conserving a wide range of materials and gained a foundation for understanding the materials that make up books. I developed my specialism in book conservation at West Dean College (UK), where I recently completed my MA.  

While working in conservation, I have discovered that box making and mount making are special interests of mine.
