I specialise in delivering complex events and projects, with experience across sectors including higher education, non-profit, government, and corporate. My interdisciplinary background allows me to build relationships across difference and facilitate unique collaborations. I foster highly effective teams where every member has the information and support necessary to do their best work.
Currently, I am a Community Manager at the Software Sustainability Institute, based at the University of Southampton. I primarily support the Society of Research Software Engineering, whose mission is to foster a research culture that recognises the vital role of software (and the people who write it) in research, and the Hidden REF campaign, which advocates for a more equitable research environment that acknowledges all research outputs and everyone involved in their creation.
Previously, I worked as a stage and production manager, with a focus on new work and community-engaged performance. I delivered a number of high-profile projects including an inaugural international festival, a world premiere and international tour of a play about memory and the Holocaust, and a ground-breaking virtual performance interrogating one American university's relationship with the descendants of people it enslaved. I have facilitated collaborations with leading academic researchers, Grammy-nominated artists, and Nobel laureates.
I hold an MSc in Digital Humanities from University College London and a BA in History from Georgetown University.
