Geraldine spent forty years in primary education, including teaching positions in Edinburgh, West Berlin during the Cold War and then Vancouver before spending almost twenty five years  as a Primary Headteacher in the beautiful Scottish Borders. Having appreciated the wonderful learning experiences Trimontium Museum offered to her pupils and staff, she decided to become a volunteer within the museum following her retirement in 2007.

Since then, she has enjoyed meeting visitors of many nationalities and in particular, guiding  the five mile Trimontium Walk to the site of the fort as well as working with school groups visiting the Museum.
