& Cultural
Consultancy

I work with organisations, institutions, and leaders to shape culturally
relevant, community-led strategies — and contribute insight to projects
that bridge communities, amplify underrepresented voices, and create
measurable change.

I work with organisations, institutions, and leaders to shape
culturally relevant, community-led strategies — and
contribute insight to projects that bridge communities,
amplify underrepresented voices, and create
measurable change.

Over the past six years, I’ve partnered with government bodies, cultural institutions, and grassroots organisations — both through formal consultancy projects and invited contributions to strategic focus groups and policy workshops.

My experience spans cultural strategy, programme development, community engagement, and governance advice. Whether advising on safeguarding frameworks, contributing to sector-wide initiatives, or shaping creative campaigns, my work is rooted in lived experience, cultural fluency, and a proven track record of building trust in diverse settings.
