About
Working in the crossroads between arts, culture and climate for several years, I am now a strategic development officer for children and youth culture in the Region of Värmland, Sweden. Born in England but raised in Värmland, I am proud and honoured to be back where my interest and passion for arts and culture started. I base my work on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Global Development Goals, bringing them to life in policy and projects supporting all childrens’ right to experience and create art and culture. I am also a Board member of the NGO Våra barns klimat (Our Kids’ Climate).

Development Officer
I previously worked as a Development Officer for Performing Arts in the Region of Västra Götaland, where I was a driving force in creating a training programme on climate and the environment for the arts sector.
