I am passionate about museums, striving to bring the collections to life through design. I am highly motivated to engage and inspire a broad range of visitors through creative elements. Throughout my museum roles I have developed a wide range of experiences and skills. I have taken on management opportunities when they have come my way to ensure that the project is completed. I am able to work effectively using my own initiative, however I enjoy the development and learning that comes from working as part of a team. I have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills enabling me the capacity to strategically and precisely deliver the task in hand.
