My purpose is to connect people to themselves, to each other and to their environment, through curating artistic and immersive experiences. I am currently undertaking research in contemporary art in abandoned spaces, exploring site-specific works and festivals across Europe and Tasmania. As an independent board director for The Unconformity Festival and the National English Language Quality Assurance (NEAS), I challenge the status quo in the arts and education sectors.With a background in music, contemporary art, food and wine, education and professional services, my career experience comes from leading global communications and marketing functions for multinationals. I have worked in the foreign aid, education, and international business sectors in Asia (Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam) and South America (Brasil, Colombia, Chile).
