Fine Art Graduate with a Gold-Standard NCTJ qualification including 100wpm shorthand qualification. I am all about promoting and celebrating culture whether it be Art, Music, Theatre, Film, anything. Having spent years volunteering predominantly in galleries and festivals I want to be able to work full time within music or the arts, rather than constantly subsidising it by working in a bar full time and having to do projects on the side.
At the moment I run a couple of radio shows on 1 Brighton FM (PRBH Radio and Pebbles Rock), also running a blog called Art In Brighton.

- Brighton Science FestivalJoined in November to replace an outgoing administrator, part of a fluid team of 4 whose joint effort creates the Brighton Science Festival. My work covered all facets of the Festival, from production on the events themselves to Marketing, Social Media Management, Press Management, as well as managing a team of 79 volunteers across the festival myself. I loved this opportunity and seeing children engaging in Science and, seeing the way in which children engaged in each of the shows and stalls at
Work history
Radio Presenter
Brighton, United KingdomFreelance
Part of a team of three that produce a live bi-weekly radio show interviewing local artists, musicians, community projects, charities and all sorts of other wonderful things that Brighton has to offer. We are a community show with a real push for societal change brought on by activism and grassroots movements in particular.
I also have just started a new rock show for the station called Pebble Rocks which will celebrate alternative/rock music in and around Brighton.
My personal highlight was having Laurie from Slaves (headline act at The Great Escape) come into the station to co-host the show live, as well as interviews with Sampa The Great, Adam Naas and Zeal & Ardor amongst loads others.
You can listen to 1 Brighton FM on 101.4FM, DAB and online www.1brightonfm.co.uk.

Devised by a disgruntled art lover in 2015, Art In Brighton is one man's guide to the visual arts in Brighton.
This website, originally intended as a light-hearted look at the visual arts in Brighton has quickly established itself as a serious publication within the art world in Brighton. This is due to it's lack of purely visual arts magazines and listings websites focused on Brighton's unique visual arts, a vacuum that Art In Brighton aims to fill. It has since expanded as I have focused more on music too, covering Brighton Festival (2016 and '17) and finally extensive coverage on this year's Great Escape Festival.
We are looking for support and stories. Please contact chris@artinbrighton.co.uk for more information.
