She now promotes glass in contemporary architecture and conservation of historic glass through the not-for-profit organisation, GLAAS Inc. She writes a regular column, ‘Windows on History’ for the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, and her book, 'Lights Everlasting: Australia’s Commemorative Stained Glass from the Boer War to Vietnam', was published in 2023.
