About me
I have spent the past three years in Dubai, UAE working in the commercial realm of art galleries following my Masters in contemporary art writing and criticism. I have since decided I want to move from the commercial sphere into the public realm of arts programming and management. Through my time in galleries in the emerging arts market of Dubai, I have learned varied skills such as management, logistics, curation as well as artist liaison and support. I believe these skills qualify me for this exciting role.
