During my secondment tenure as a Chevening Clore Fellow at Tate, I had the privilege of undertaking my Clore secondment at Tate, encompassing both Tate Modern and Tate Britain. My focus revolved around developing a volunteer retention and re-engagement strategy in a post-COVID era, along with spearheading the digital implementation of volunteer resources. This experience enabled me to utilize my cultural, analytical, and technical skills while immersing myself in the extraordinary works exhibited at Tate. I gained invaluable insights into their operations, strategy, and partnerships. Moreover, I had the unique opportunity to shadow esteemed leaders of the institution and actively participate in meetings and negotiations with board members, further enriching my professional journey.
