I am the Artistic Director of a not for profit orgnisation called Arts Odyssey. Focusing on the concept of 'unity through diversity', Arts Odyssey delivers creative, collaborative and cultural arts projects which focus on social change both in the UK and internationally.

To date Arts Odyssey has delivered 'Choreographing Community', an adult dance project in Bermondsey designed to address issues of social divide in an area of regeneration. This project was supported by IdeasTap. In addition we delivered a large-scale inclusive and intergenerational project in Uruguay working with children, teenagers and adults with and without disabilities. Currently Arts Odyssey run a community adult dance company in Southwark called 'Odyssey'.

I am also a Projects Manager for Learning and Participation (Dance) at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. At Trinity Laban my role is responsible for the strategy and delivery of projects in areas of disability, youth leadership and arts award, community engagement, widening participation, secondary education and gifted and talented dance.

In addition to my work as a freelance Cultural Producer, I am a Creative and Contemporary Dance Practitioner with experience teaching all ages and experiences.

I completed a Dance and Culture BA with First Class Honours at Surrey University and worked in the Learning Department at English National Ballet for a year on Placement. I completed a MA in Culture, Policy and Management at City University with Distinction. My academic research focuses on post colonial agendas, cross cultural collaboration and international cultural policy.
