Currently, I serve as Curator of Art and Visual culture at the Science Museum London and have extensive experience in collections management and delivering exhibitions in national institutions.

 

I am also a founder and chair of the Gender and Sexuality Network at the Science Museum Group, a platform dedicated to advancing dialogue and inclusion within museum spaces for both visitors and staff alike.
