About me
I have recently finished studying my Master's degree in Arts Management and Heritage Studies, and obtained a Distinction. I have invaluable experience of working and volunteering within the arts and cultural sector before, both in the UK and in Europe. I have worked for the Guggenheim in Bilbao, and for the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, as well as Thackray's Medical Museum in Leeds. I am a creative and ambitious individual who is keen to get their foot in the door of the arts world.

    Leeds, United Kingdom
    I hold a Distinction in this subject. My degree has helped me gain a sophisticated understanding of the arts and cultural sector, particularly the way in which this industry operates. My core modules explored how the meaning of objects, artworks and buildings change in different contexts. I also hold a large field of knowledge regarding general management techniques, as well as how to apply this to an arts context.
