Dynamic & enthusiastic freelancer leveraging my skills in exhibition planning, editorial, and research to produce, write, and curate projects across fashion, film, theatre, dance, and art.
As a Freelance Administrator at 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗥, I monitor, capture, and document media coverage for classical music & performance arts clients, create and organize schedules and reports, and transcribe interviews.
I’m now also supporting the 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 (London) as a volunteer Web Accessibility Champion supporting on various functions including the development and implementation of Alternative Text across the institution’s web pages, social media etc.
With over five years of experience as a Creative Arts Mentor, I support students and graduates from various universities and institutions in developing their portfolios, critical thinking, and personal growth. Some of my mentees have worked with renowned publications, fashion houses, and production companies.
I am passionate about crafting and enhancing human experiences through the arts, and ensuring accessibility and diversity in the creative industries.

I can’t wait to watch this brand grow and develop as time passes and proud that I’ve been a tiny cog in this very sweet wheel. #FoodPhotography #Artisan #SupportSmallBusiness #Suppor
