My first job. I reshelved books on the weekends at the state library and retrieved books from stack. We were also in charge of the photocopiers. There were a few big recataloguing events I volunteered for including putting all of the tattle strips in the collection. It took a couple of weeks and we shut the library and pumped it out:)

Began work with the Pharoes Exhibit in the late 90s being a concierge in the special exhibits in the Queensland Museum. Also worked in the normal exhibits across all of the display rooms of the public collection as well as working the cloak room. I enjoyed working at the Museum.of Queensland especially the reference section. Thank you Geoff Monteith and Geoff Thompson for your tutelage at the museum.
