Recent/Current Curatorial Projects: The Garden Museum - A Poet In The Garden - This project was an exploration of Vauxhall Gardens from the perspective of those who use the park everyday. The exhibition consisted of a series of poems by established poet Jackie Wills, based on conversations she had with willing participants in the park. Exhibition Dates: 22nd March -¬¬ 8th April 2018.
The Auction Collective - 10th – 14th September 2018. I assisted the founder of this relatively new auction company during the week of their last auction (which took place on 13th September) at Hoxton Arches in East London. I was responsible for the curation and installation of artworks, invigilating and maintaining the space throughout the week, hosting guests during the auction, managing gig event staff hired for the evening of the auction and also assisting with the packaging of sold works both during and after the auction.

Managed all social media activities for both the gallery and the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize 2015 utilising in-depth knowledge and understanding of social media platforms.

Key Contributions:
• Organised and maintained a computerised database from scratch detailing all of the works on paper by deceased artist Leo Davy that the gallery continues to use for sales purposes.
