Aspiring curatorial professional
I am an associative thinker and meticulous organiser, aspiring to develop curatorial experience in Manchester.
Trained in literary and museum studies, I have worked in project research and delivery, marketing and visitor service in heritage settings in the UK. I also have prior experience in leadership and stakeholder engagement in public and private sectors.
I am a member of the Arts Marketing Association - Global Majority Affinity Group, British Art Network and International Council of Museums.
