About me
I am an art enthusiast and a culture lover. I have experience in archive and database management and have worked with small galleries and collections to help improve accessibility and collections management programming. I am interested in working with galleries and museums and am a highly proficient researcher. I am looking to work with brands and organisations that value equity, inclusivity, diversity and strive for sustainable, long-term impacts. I hold a MA and BA in History of Art and Visual Culture and am looking to use my research and interpersonal skills to advance creative industries.

    Art Collection InternHeriot-Watt University
     - Edinburgh, United KingdomInternship
    I worked with the curator to organise archive data and create suggestions for general improvements. I researched copyright policies for the organisation and suggested future projects for archival management. I curated two virtual exhibitions for their collection to increase accessibility and provided input for future programming. This involved independent research and resulted in written content produced for their website, social media platforms, and collections database.
