About
Participating in culture is everyone's right, this belief has driven my career. As Arts Development Manager I work with over 150 arts sector organisations to support their development and work to create the environment for them to thrive, through advocacy, and professional and orgnaisational development programmes.
I'm active across the cultural sector and involved in policy development; advocating for fundamental change to the valuation of Front of House workers, an active member of the Heritage Volunteering Group and the Museums Association.
I am a graduate of BA Archaeology and MSc Care of Collections from Cardiff University with experience working as an archaeologist, front of house worker, museum leadership and sector development. I am extensively involved in the sector, as a steering group member of the Heritage Volunteering Group and co-founder of FoHMuseums, a group established to advocate for and celebrate the work of FoH in the heritage sector.
