Bio
In my undergraduate degree in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management at the University of South Wales, I developed an interest in sustainability and building conservation. I have been able to continue to develop this professional interest during my studies here at the University of Edinburgh. In addition, I have become passionate about folk studies and making conservation practices more community driven and determined.
Individual Projects
History and Theory of Conservation:
In this module, I examined the conservation principles and cultural influences of St. Fagans Welsh Folk Museum and its founder Iorwerth C. Peate.
Dissertation:
In my paper titled 'If These Walls Could Talk', I explored the use of oral histories in architectural conservation methodology and undertook an oral history case study on Penuel Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Ferndale.

Group Projects
Building Analysis:
As a group, we undertook a historical analysis and physical survey of Old Moray House situated on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. In particular, we focussed on the two balconies that previously performed aesthetic and practical roles.
Urban Conservation:
Working in groups, this module required the critical analysis of the urban and architectural landscape of the top of Leith Walk, ultimately determining proposals that would conserve the historical, cultural and community values of the area.
