I graduated in 2006 from University of Warwick with a degree in Modern and Renaissance History. Throughout my time at university I was actively involved in the music centre as a 'cellist and decided when I graduated to turn my passion for the arts into a career, and have been fortunate to work in various arts marketing roles in the West Midlands ever since.
My first job was as Administrator for the Coull Quartet, organising concerts and marketing for their busy concert schedule around the country. I then joined Audiences Central, the Audience Development Agency for the West Midlands and worked in a number of roles including Audience Development Officer. During my time at Audiences Central I was part of the project team for The Big Picture, a high profile audience development campaign that culminated in the construction of the world's largest photo mosaic!
I joined dx in October 2009 and worked with the core marketing team as well as on IDFB 2010. I am now responsible for the marketing and press for all DanceXchange's core programme of performances, classes and project work. Working at dx has been a crash course in the wonderful world of contemporary dance, but I’m now hooked!
