CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:Delivery of the annual VCA Graduate Exhibition for four consecutive years. Personally led the conversion to online in 2020 with the launch of the inaugural VCA Art 2020 website – a custom website showcasing over 150 graduating students work with curated responses from international curators and artists. Each graduate’s work was professionally documented with accompanying artist statements and social links. Website presented VCA to a wide international reach and was so successful that an online iteration of the Graduate Exhibition will now accompany the exhibition each year. The 2020 website was highly commended with positive reviews in The Age and The Guardian and featured in radio interviews on ABC and 3RRR.Sole representative of the University of Melbourne at the 2019 Venice Biennale as part of the Venice Biennale Champions Program.
