I am an experienced arts leader and curator with a proven track record across museums and galleries, education and the wider cultural sector. With an extensive network, I bring over 25 years of expertise in strategic leadership, public engagement, and inclusive programming.

As Senior Curator of the Arts Council Collection (2003–2021), I led the UK’s largest loan collection of British sculpture, managing facilities, operations and teams, overseeing national touring exhibitions and delivering impactful interpretation and learning programmes. With doctorate-level expertise in recent sculpture by women, I develop sector-shaping projects that foreground underrepresented artists and narratives. I am passionate about supporting artists and widening participation with a future-facing approach rooted in collaboration, curiosity and care.

I am a highly skilled writer and editor with an extensive portfolio of published work. As an experienced public speaker, I deliver lectures and chair conversations at leading institutions across the UK, including galleries, museums and universities.

I studied History of Art at King’s College, Cambridge, graduating with a First Class degree. I recently submitted my PhD at the University of Birmingham, funded by Midlands4Cities.
