About me
Specialising in the Contemporary Arts with a demonstrated history in the higher education industry, I’ve amassed over 5 years of experience in project administration. I’m engaged and involved with the local art community, always open to collaboration, and translating creative ideas/visions into reality. My recent successes include: -Currently leading the creative direction of the “Moral Subjects” event parallel to the Grayson Perry ‘Vanity of Small Differences” exhibition at East Gallery NUA. -Leading an online sculpture workshop for the Norwich Community as a part of Site Integrate. A scheme to get young people involved in the arts during the pandemic. -Undertaking creative marketing and video campaigns for the Winter release and Christmas Campaign for the company Little Hotdog Watson. -Collaboratively leading three successful course-wide events as a part of the NUA Curation Board. Soon to be finishing my short-term internship, I am now actively pursuing new roles within the arts industry where I can be hands-on and interacting with the local community. Specialties: Project management, creative campaigns, art and community events, creative problem solving, time management, and communications marketing.
