Christine grew up in the ancestral lands of the Darug people and the second oldest city of New South Wales after Colonial invasion, Parramatta. She was surrounded by such rich histories at a young age and that fostered a deep love for anything historical, and a yearning to know more about where she came from, where she lived, and the events that influenced people’s lives.
Christine completed a Bachelor of Historical Inquiry and Practice and went on to complete an Honours degree at Federation University, achieving First Class Honours. Christine has been accepted for PhD studies at Federation University.
Christine is an experienced historian, public speaker, and tour guide. She has written, researched and presented many historical tours. She also volunteers at Sovereign Hill where she instigated a living history outreach program that visits local nursing homes making new memories with historic items.
Christine is currently conducting tours at The Convent Gallery in Daylesford. Please call The Convent Gallery directly on 03 5348 3211 to enquire about tour bookings.
