A creative practitioner, storyteller, and socio-environmental activist of Kittitian and Galician heritage raised in North West London and Galicia, Spain. Her experience of navigating both physical and online spaces as a Black working-class queer creative have played a crucial role in informing her practice and how she chooses to disrupt space/s.
A natural communicator, adept in a range of platforms and digital media. I'm multilingual and have developed a wide range of transferable skills from my life and work experiences, equipping me with the ability to adapt to new environments and situations swiftly and effectively.
I am organised, very attentive to detail, and quick at learning new tasks. I have experience working both independently, in teams and think and operate both strategically and creatively.

Education
Fine Art BA (hons)University of The Arts London (UAL)
- London, United Kingdom
Bachelor of Arts (BA) - Fine Art (Sculpture) - First Class Honours
CCW Foundation Diploma Art Design, PassUniversity of The Arts London (UAL)
- London, United Kingdom
The course encourages active and practical speculation on how far contemporary sculpture as a subject can be defined and expanded. The course allows students to thoroughly explore sculpture in a broader art context, and focuses on making work as well as investigating a full range of sculpting materials. I work within a dynamic studio, producing practical work complemented by a range of activities including seminars, critiques, talks and gallery visits led by course tutors, international practitioners, artists and curators. I have the opportunity to consider what a ‘socially engaged’ art practice might be, and reflect on how artworks operate in the world and are received by specific audiences.
