Ten years of experience working across community-building and cultural institutions, in both a professional and personal capacity, have led me to reflect and develop my ideas on public engagement and widening access in the arts.
I'm incredibly excited to be returning to academia to seek answers to what makes cultural and heritage spaces truly reflective of its audiences and what collaborative and sustainable public engagement look like in practice.
Alongside my studies, I will continue in my role leading a family programme, Play in the Park project, within the Royal Parks working with local underserved communities. I look forward to applying the knowledge gained in my master’s to my professional work.
