Helena McKeever – Researcher
http://www.helenaswebpage.com/
Currently I work part-time as a reference librarian in a public library and then do free-lance writing or research as jobs come up where I think I can contribute. I have, for example, done some historical research just lately for author, Alan Duff. In the recent past (after graduating) I have worked in the real estate industry (assisting with the valuation processes for commercial, rural, industrial and residential properties in Havelock North). My tertiary training was completed as Massey Palmerston and Albany, much of it extramurally. So I have an honours degree in History completed in 2003.
I read widely and am IT savy. By blog documents some of the training I have received or places I have travelled in addition to websites that I like to visit. It personalises and gives examples of some reading and research that I have done more recently.
