Selected Experience & Community Engagement 

Arts Facilitation & Cultural Programmes

The Whitworth
I support public programmes across the gallery, working with diverse audiences including babies, children, families, and ethnic minority communities. This includes assisting Art Baby sessions, where I help facilitate sensory-based creative learning for infants and toddlers alongside their carers.

I have also supported Afrocats x The Whitworth, preparing materials and guiding participants through creative activities responding to John Lyons’ Carnavalesque exhibition. These workshops combined making, movement, music, and storytelling to celebrate African culture in a gallery context.

In addition to facilitation, I provide front-of-house and reception support for academic and cultural events, including welcoming researchers, guest speakers, and the public, and helping ensure events run smoothly and accessibly.

Community Engagement & Accessibility

Manchester Pride
As an Accessibility Officer, I supported festival-goers with a wide range of access needs during large-scale public events. This role required attentiveness, clear communication, and calm problem-solving in busy environments, ensuring participants felt safe, supported, and included.

Community Revival UK
My role with Community Revival UK combined research, education, and community engagement. I have assisted with research and funding applications focused on social cohesion, and delivered IELTS preparation lessons to children from non-English-speaking families, adapting teaching methods to individual learning styles and needs.

Research, Museums & Humanities

University of St Andrews Museums
As a student researcher, I worked on projects examining how digital museum collections can be integrated into teaching and learning. I assessed digital resources and collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to improve accessibility and engagement.

I worked with Exhibit, a digital storytelling platform using high-resolution 2D and 3D images of artworks, manuscripts, and rare objects, exploring how digital tools can support inclusive humanities education.
