About me
A passionate people-driven manager, I have spent my entire career working with creative brands leading complex teams to complete projects and achieve sales and productivity goals. Agile and adaptable, I am looking for a role that's equal parts independent and collaborative that meets my needs as a creative and as a people manager. My energy as a leader is unmatched and, I hope, exactly the right fit for your team.
My current contract at the University of the Arts: London is coming to an end in March, so I am actively looking for my next opportunity. I am open to a wide range of roles, but am most interested in staying in either a creative, arts, or heritage role, ideally in management, people/relationship development, or content creation. If you or anyone you know of has any opportunities, please get in touch!
Projects
- Anthropologie Oxford New Store OpeningThis new store opening of Anthropologie's first shopfront in Oxford was completed in one week, transforming an empty building to a customer-ready shop with a team of over 50 creatives, retail associates, builders, and fellow managers.

- Anthropologie Winchester Store OpeningThis new Anthropologie EU location on Winchester's high street was completed in under a week. As the on-the-ground leader of the store opening process, I collaborated with the creative teams, delegated stock processing, liaised with project managers and building teams, local authorities, and Head Office / Distribution Center teams.
