About me
As an ambitious and forward-thinking undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Culture, Criticism, and Curation at Central Saint Martins, I am highly motivated to explore curatorial opportunities within the arts sector. With a profound appreciation for the power of art to connect individuals and stimulate progressive thinking, I am eager to deepen my knowledge and experience through hands-on involvement in curatorial practices. Having lived in Sydney, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, and London, I possess a global perspective that fuels my passion for creative problem-solving and overcoming challenges. I approach every opportunity with positivity and dynamism, and am particularly interested in blending my curatorial skills with a growing interest in charity work. As a highly motivated individual with strong people and communication skills, I am confident in my ability to conceptualize and transform ideas into reality. I am eager to contribute to the growth and success of an art gallery or research institution, and am excited by the prospect of being part of a dynamic team of professionals who share my passion for the arts.

    Founder of Art for ReliefArt for Relief
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    As the Founder of Art for Relief, a non-profit charity project launched in 2021, I led an initiative that brought together over 100 talented artists to raise funds for Soft Power Education, a charity that empowers children in rural Ugandan areas through education. Through my efforts, I curated two successful art exhibitions in collaboration with the Auction Collective, generating over 6,500 GBP. In addition, I established effective communication with established and up- and-coming artists, building a network that proved invaluable to the success of the project. I traveled solo to Uganda, where I led art workshops with preschools and met with the Soft Power team. My experience with Art for Relief has honed my organizational skills, allowed me to develop strong relationships with artists and art collectors, and given me invaluable experience in curation, event planning, and fundraising.
