My work in community-building, writing and project managing successfully funded projects totals over £755k to date. From forming initial concepts and scope; researching and collating data; writing applications and finance documents; to project management and evaluation; I have successfully managed funding applications for creative organisations from start to finish over the past seven years and counting.

15 years experience working in the live music industry as a programmer, event organizer and manager, running operations for award-winning venue The Boileroom; I have a wealth of knowledge of all aspects within this sector.

Specialising in funding for creative projects: 8,000 capacity music and arts festival, youth music and inclusive, diverse programming, to environmental projects such as zero waste café Trash Canteen and biodiverse wildlife habitat projects.

 My vision has a strong emphasis on growing existing communities, working with all-scale budgets, and helping them to flourish.
