I'm a creative and practical purpose-driven professional, with an entrepreneurial mindset and a demonstrated experience of working in art, tech, and business in the last decade. I have worked for established galleries and pioneering institutions co-founded an events company and an art publication before founding Data Natives, the media and community platform for the data-driven generation.

I am an analytical Thinker, Visionary, Speaker, Ecosystem Builder & Connector, enabling people to lead themselves. I have a multidisciplinary background with studies in Economics, Art History, and Modern and Contemporary Art from British Universities.
