About

In my role at Young Epilepsy, I support vulnerable young people by recruiting them into the charity’s Youth Voice Network community, planning in-person charity events, while also managing logistics, admin and communications. As Directory and Freebies Curator at Cancer Care Parcel and Technician at the RCA, I’ve contributed to websites, creative projects and exhibitions while leveraging skills using Canva and Adobe Suite. I've worked in Arts and Health settings including Clay for Dementia at the Garden Museum, and I'm always looking for more opportunities to work in the Creative Health sector. I have a Master of Arts in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art and a Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art. Currently undertaking a certificate in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at the Metanoia Institute, I am motivated by opportunities that integrate research with empathy and artistic vision to deliver impactful creative projects.
