I have worked in-house and in freelance roles leading on research, administration and coordination for commercial and creative projects across the arts sector, including the National Gallery, Pitzhanger Manor, LBOC, Tara Theatre and V&A Dundee. I also have experience running successful online and live meetings and events. I am passionate about events and finding ways to create uplifting experiences which is complemented by my background in marketing.
People find me to be a dedicated, creative team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. I also have a strong work ethic so when I'm working on a project I put 100% of myself into it to produce the best quality whilst also meeting deadlines.
