About me
I am a freelance music and arts professional with over 7 years experience working in the cultural sector. I have worked with a wide range of projects and companies such as The Barbican, Battersea Arts Centre, Chanel, Rockfeedback, i-D Magazine, Latitude Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In this time I have acquired a detailed knowledge of live performance events and artist management, and pride myself on having the right balance of interpersonal and technical understanding to facilitate a smooth and positive experience for artists and audiences alike.

    Event ManagerRockfeedback
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    As one of this promoter’s main freelancers over the last two years, I act as events manager for many of their shows around London, ensuring the smooth running of any gig I work on. This role is about having the right balance of interpersonal skills, technical knowledge and logistical understanding. I act as the liaison between the band, the promoter and the venue, dealing with technical aspects such as load ins, sound and lighting fit ups, and sound-checks, as well as ticketing, guest list, band hospitality, and settlements. With RFB I have moved from managing small gigs at venues such as Shacklewell Arms to sold out shows at Koko within a short space of time. I recently acted as assistant on RFB’s biggest ever selling show: Flume at Alexandra Palace, and also Stage Manager for Songhoy Blues at The Roundhouse and production assistant on Visions Festival ’16 & ‘17. Other bands I have worked with for RFB include MØ, Father John Misty, Bloc Party, Let’s Eat Grandma and Blaenavon.

    I worked with i-D magazine and Chanel on this immersive art installation created by Es Devlin. I was hired for the project as lead steward, managing a team of 12 to welcome and guide large audience numbers through the installation. A hugely popular exhibition, this was a truly challenging and rewarding experience.
