Talks
I’m an approachable, enthusiastic speaker, with 30 years’ experience of communicating my work to all kinds of audiences, both in person and online. That’s me in the photo, giving a talk on Spanish and Portuguese names on the British streetmap at the Museo de Acapulco in Mexico.
You’ll find some videos of me in action below. If you’re interested in a talk that falls within my area of expertise, just get in touch and I’ll see what I can do!
