I am looking for production or management jobs within the arts and event management and administration jobs within the corporate and charitable sectors. I am particularly interested in event planning and fundraising, outreach and partnerships, and governance. I love to build communities around my work.

Project/events manager and administrator with significant experience in the arts. Outreach and network building expert.
What I'm looking for
I am an events manager and administrator focusing in theatre production. I have significant experience in building events and productions from the ground up, and I’m an expert in the London Fringe Theatre ecosystem. I use my creative background with my administrative and management skills to bring fresh takes to corporate, commercial, or subsidised organisations.
I founded the London Fringe Theatre Network and produced the academic conference ‘Fringe REvolution’, and I’ve facilitated the expansion of Voila! Theatre Festival from one venue to nine in London, driving growth, partnerships, and Arts Council support. My own company secured significant private investment to produce a small tour, resulting in an Edinburgh Festival Fringe award.
I manage budgets, calendars, contracts, stakeholder relationships, and event operations, including ongoing venue management for The Cockpit theatre. Alongside producing and outreach, I’ve supported large-scale festival operations (box office across eight venues and 100+ shows), led artist relations and operations across seven theatres, and lead creative work as a musical director and lecturer across workshop-to-opening development.
