Aspiring museum professional
I am an arts administrator and researcher in Manchester, with international experience in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Germany and the Netherlands.
As an associative thinker and meticulous organiser, I am pivoting from a background in media and stakeholder engagement for trade exhibitions and the legal profession, to exhibition and project management in modern and contemporary art, architecture and design. I have strong experience in the arts sector, from independent curating to facilitating socially engaged projects and institutional loans.
My research interests include curatorial representations of time and postcoloniality, and materiality of memory. I am supporting a research project under the Arts and Humanities Research Council on building capacity for museum professionals to care for the public memorialisation of collective trauma.
I am open to collaboration in the UK, Europe and Asia.
