About me
Project Manager, Producer, Events and Production Manager based in London.
Currently I’m a freelance project manager, producer, events and production manager. Producing festivals and project/event managing numerous programmes and events across the UK for arts organisations, companies and festivals including: Barbican, Southbank Centre, WOW Foundation, Serious Ltd and We Out Here.
From 2020 - 2023 I worked at Jerwood Arts as a project manager, overseeing funding programmes and supporting artists across the UK to develop their practice and partner with arts organisations to bring new work to fruition.
I started my career as an Apprentice in Community Arts & Events Management at Southbank Centre. Since then I have been lucky to have worked all over London with some the most talented and inspirational artists and production teams. I love working in fast paced and high pressure environments with tight knit teams who bring together incredible gigs, talks and festivals. My passion lies in music and creating spaces for young people and artists to discuss and explore the arts, politics and the impact they can have on the world.
