I worked at the National War Memorial of Victoria-The Shrine of Remembrance. During this time the Shrine undertook the Galleries of Remembrance project. This major project saw the Shrine redeveloped into a place not just for commemoration but also for education. This was during the centenary of Anzac period. During my role I was part of a fundraising team which raised a 10 million endowment for future projects. I also created and edited the Shrine's magazine Remembrance, developed the Friends of the Shrine individual & corporate programs along with assisting in many Second World War displays. I resigned in 2015 to return to my own battlefield tour company-Kokoda Historical.
