Aspiring museum professional
I am an arts administrator and researcher in Manchester.
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 contemporary art, architecture and design. I have strong experience in the arts sector, from independent curating to facilitating 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 collective trauma and public grief.
I am open to collaboration in the UK, Europe and Asia.
