Originally from East Sussex I have lived in York since 2007 and have worked with One&Other since April 2011. I studied Politics & Contemporary History but my professional life has largely involved project and event management.
I’m interested in art (in its many forms) and especially literature. Getting involved in the creation of One&Other has given me the chance to work with a truly creative team and to meet many of the most dynamic, interesting and artistic people in York.
One&Other has opened my eyes to what is possible through hard work, inspiration and creativity as well as revealing how much York as a city has to offer.
