Arts Space Wodonga is a vibrant and accessible contemporary art gallery and multipurpose venue managed by Wodonga Council. The focus of my role was to drive the arts program of exhibitions and events, which entailed end to end program management including planning, implementation, evaluation, budget management and management of project staff and volunteers. I coordinated and developed strategies and programs that were creative and diverse, to actively engage the community, promote cultural learning, creation, expression and provide entertainment.

Linden New Art is a public gallery set in the heart of St Kilda that specialises in displaying new and contemporary art. Essentially my role with the gallery was focussed on raising LNA's profile through digital engagement, as well as developing educational resources for the public and schools.

My role as Gallery Administrator was focussed on supporting the day to day operation and management of the gallery to ensure facilities were available for visitors. I managed questions from visitors about exhibitions and programs, and also about visiting St Kilda with reference to restaurants and other sights.

Assisted in the organisation of the Fifth National Public Galleries Summit held in Bendigo from 4th-6th February, 2015.

I worked in the Photoimaging department and taught all classes available in the course from Black and White darkroom to teaching Occupational Health and Safety.
