About Yvonne
Social Enterprise-Not for Profit.
Personal & Community Engagement Arts/Therapeutic Heritage Projects for Well-being.
Oral History Research, Storytelling, Music & Drama.
Having enjoyed several years working as a Ward Sister and being involved in nurse education & medical research at Aberdeen Hospitals I moved to Moray. I decided to return to study the arts which I have always enjoyed. I love working with people and since graduating have had a wide variety of experiences in museums, theatre and even with an archaeology team. I have met many interesting, lovely people along the way with whom I enjoy collaborating in order to create a project.
As I very much miss nursing the obvious academic area for me to specialise in is Oral History Research and Storytelling. I enjoy listening to people and if their stories & memories are not recorded they will be lost through time. Everyone has a story to tell and I enjoy listening and writing. My aim is to place a story in a context or cradle of history.
I work with a Song Writing Collaborative and strive to find the best music to enhance any project I am working on. Music can evoke a mood or elaborate a theme where words alone fail.
I am PVG registered and adhere to all informed consent, copyright and ethical protocols. I respect confidentiality and consider it important to fully discuss aspects of any project with participants.
