MY VALUES

01.

Curiosity

I'm wired to wonder, to ask, explore, and uncover what’s been overlooked. I follow both evidence and instinct, because curiosity deepens my work. I want to understand the full picture, not just what’s on the surface. For me, curiosity isn’t optional—it’s a responsibility.

02.

Integrity

I work with care, clarity, and respect for the historical record. Guided by evidence, ethical responsibility, and collegiality, I navigate complexity with clients and subjects alike, producing work that is honest, considered, and enduring.

03.

Collegial

I believe the most thoughtful work emerges from relationships grounded in trust, generosity, and shared purpose. By working collegially—with clients, subjects, and peers—I create space for open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and solutions that honour complexity. Collegiality is a way of thinking together, toward something deeper and more lasting.

04.

Boldness

I trust my creative instinct—even when it leads me away from convention. I push myself to keep going through discomfort. I show up and stay with the hard stuff when it would be easier to turn away.

05.

Storytelling

I shape history into stories that draw people close, giving them a sense of being present as events unfold. I aim to show rather than tell, to let moments, voices, and textures speak for themselves. Storytelling is how I make the past vivid and alive, so that meaning is felt as much as it is understood.
