CV

I am a manager, lecturer, artist, writer and researcher. I have lived and worked for the last six years in New Zealand developing a career encompassing these areas. Prior to this I gained valuable industry experience in the public gallery sector in Scotland, focused mainly in photography and digital/media art, management and project co-ordination.

I am currently seeking new challenges that allow me to utilise my unique set of skills and complementary industry experience that will widen my horizons.

I am personable, professional and diligent. I enjoy working with others, lead by example, am self-motivated and independent. I like to excel, and I don’t take myself too seriously.
