She has developed a series of characters and presentations for a variety of interest groups. All her presentations are well researched and resourced so you can be sure that the things she says and does are as historically accurate as she can make them. Initially her interest has been the history of food and the reflection of society at that time, but since becoming a Queen Victoria impersonator (she is the same height at the same age), she has developed an interest in the Victorian era and has been researching Baby Farming for the last 10 years, and has written a book on the subject. Recently, she has been interviewed for BBC Radio Bristol for a documentary about Amelia Dyer.
