I am a justice driven artist educator, researcher and activist working in arts education, community resource building and organisational development.
I am the founder and CEO of youth-led organisation Arts Education Exchange (AEE); an independent consultant and visiting lecturer in art education. I qualified as a teacher in 2012 and completed the MA: Artist Teacher and Contemporary Practice at Goldsmiths University before leaving formal education to set up AEE. My interests are underpinned by critical, feminist and anti-colonial praxis. I am an experienced facilitator, designing creative, arts based and participatory workshops to support groups in developing collective visions for change. I’m a level 7 certified coach and part of the Artsmark teaching team at Goldsmiths University.
I’m also co-director of Tend Toward Justice, a collective of researchers, activists, artists and community organisers.
Having set up a charity I have a broad and extensive understanding about how each part plays a vital role in making the ‘whole’ work. My strength is making connections, implementing collaborative strategies and developing systems and structures to influence change. I've encountered so much that doesn't work (in the voluntary and education sectors) and discovered, through making mistakes and questioning everything that change begins in our relationships with ourselves, others and the conditions we find ourselves in.
