Overview
About Me
I moved to London in 2011 to study Culture, Criticism and Curating at Central Saint Martins. Since graduating I've worked full-time at a contemporary art gallery (Lisson Gallery) in central London. In September I begin a Masters degree at Goldsmiths, University of London. I'm studying contemporary curating but my broader interests include music, performance, film, literature, criticism and politics.
I'm always up for meeting new people and learning about their lives.
