With experience in the Netherlands, Germany, Malaysia and Hong Kong, I bring to the arts sector my broad perspectives from working in public and private sectors on governance, strategy, partnerships and communications for international projects. I have always worked between teams and across disciplines to enable learning and engagement through art and creativity, whether redesigning a local library, curating art in schools, or helping public collections represent traumatic memories sensitively. I am particularly drawn to projects that acknowledge all individual motivations, focus on intersections and foreground communities of shared values.

I am now curating a learning project for schools based on Manchester Art Gallery's Rutherston collection of modern and contemporary art, and coordinating the We Invented the Weekend festival with 200+ free activities in summer.
