My love for the arts has had a significant impact on my career, starting in Edinburgh with a city full of festivals and collaborative projects. This laid a clear foundation for organisations and projects I’ve worked for and supported since, ranging from the local and national to the international.
UNESCO CITIES OF FILM
Following Bristol joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, I worked with Bristol Film Office to create a dedicated online platform for all Cities of Film.
My role focused on collaborating with web designer Bilden, ensuring the website had core functionality and features best suited to what was needed. I co-ordinated content with all Cities of Film, helping them emphasise the impact a UNESCO Creative City designation can have on a city and its broader network and opportunities.
The website, citiesoffilm.org, is a celebration, a collaboration and a testimony to the creative work in the Screen Industries around the world.
CREATIVE EUROPE DESK UK
As Marketing Manager for Creative Europe Desk UK, I worked with both the British Council and the BFI at a turbulent time in 2020, as Brexit came into effect and European Elections got underway.
I worked with passionate people as we advocated for culture and creativity at the highest level. I am a strong supporter of renewed UK participation in Creative Europe in 2027.
