About Me
At 14, performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ignited my passion for the arts.
After an early career in sales and marketing, I joined the British Council, supporting creative individuals and organisations globally to connect.
In the last few years I have brought this experience to the Edinburgh International Festival, led Dance Base, Scotland’s National Centre for Dance, and chaired Creative Edinburgh.
I’ve shaped organisations, developed strategies, led teams through change, and fostered relationships between the public and private sectors in the UK and internationally.

I combine my expertise in these areas to support clients across the cultural sector, funders and government:

Finance and Business Systems Review
