RESEARCH, ORGANISING INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS

I have designed and managed research, information-management and communications projects for 25+ years. I draw on my Library & Information Science background, my ability to make sense of technical material, and my networking skills. Accessibility its at the heart of all my work. I believe it is vital to tell complicated stories in an engaging and elegant way. I spent many years as a language teacher and eight at the National Centre for Languages (CILT) where I developed the work on linguistic diversity.

Some examples of past and current projects:

• Managing the £1m+ pa grants portfolio for the Endangered Archives Programme based at the British Library
• Designing learning programmes, conferences, workshops and events for arts organisations and charities
• Commissioning and writing print and online learning and information resources. I have designed, written and managed websites since 1994
• Working with small arts organisations to streamline their admin.
