I started working for All About Audiences (then Arts About Manchester) in 2008. I’m responsible for the Evidence and Engagement team, overseeing strategic projects, research & evaluation studues and delivering consultancy to support organisations in their engagement with audiences.
Following a degree in Music at Lancaster University and volunteer and temporary work for the Hallé, I went on to work for Buxton Opera House as Marketing Officer from 1998 to1999. Following this, I was Press Officer at West Yorkshire Playhouse from 1999 to 2002. I then moved to Gallery Oldham where I worked as Marketing Officer from 2002 to 2005.
For three years before moving to All About Audiences, I was the Marketing Manager for Oldham Council’s Heritage, Libraries and Arts Service and worked with Oldham Libraries, Gallery Oldham, Local Studies and Archives, Oldham Theatre Workshop, Arts Development and Tourist Information.
