About Me
I’m an experienced Events Coordinator and Music Programmer based in Hampshire, with a degree in Music Promotion. Through my career at Hampshire Cultural Trust, I’ve led on music and beer festivals, community events like the Give it a Go Festival, and supported outdoor theatre and partnership work around the county.
I’ve run The Arc’s popular monthly music night, Acoustic Café, for over 3 years, welcoming more than 100 musicians and launched a new music programme at Gosport Museum. I am well-networked across Hampshire and I’m keen to connect with creatives and new cultural projects.
I’m open to freelance opportunities, Let’s Chat!
