Her current research interests align with socially, politically and environmentally engaged practices that propose alternative narratives and methodologies. Her practice is guided by curiosity, encounters and openness with an aim to dismantle hierarchies of, and access to, art and culture. She has experience of commissioning ambitious and experimental artistic projects and public programming, as well as organising and nurturing artistic residencies and community engaged projects. In a freelance capacity, she mentors and supports artists with funding, grant, and residency application writing, and with the development of artistic and curatorial projects.

Previously, she held the positions of Curator of Exhibitions at Nottingham Contemporary, Studio Manager & Exhibitions Hub Curator within the Art Department at Goldsmiths (London), Co-Director at not-for-profit art organization Jupiter Woods, (London) and Curatorial Assistant at Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art (London). In 2020 she participated in the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo’s YCRP (Young Curator’s Residency Programme) co-curating the exhibition Waves Between Us in Turin. She received a BFA in Visual Culture from the University of Brighton (2013) and MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths (2018).
